So, let me get this straight. I’m expected to raise my stepchildren, provide for them, and pay for college, but I don’t have any legal rights to them?
You may have a deep bond with your stepchild, but you can’t give permission for a dental cleaning.
We expect the law to protect the rights of family members. Sometimes, it doesn’t.
Have you ever run down the road only to discover, it’s a dead end?
Ron, we can’t start a stepfamily Bible class or small group-we don’t have all the answers.
Have you ever taken a road trip with friends? Now, that’s good times.
You know, when you shoot par for the course, you’re doing pretty good.
Travel to a foreign land and you’ll realize what you consider normal.
Stepfamilies have a few financial landmines: don’t step on them.
A mixed bag of emotions comes with being a stepmom on Mother’s Day. A day set aside to honor moms, where does that leave a stepmom?
My heart grieves as friends describe new struggles and blended family stress during the pandemic. It feels like too much to manage some days, doesn’t it?
Quarantine and most blended families don’t mix. And if you’re wondering how to bond with your stepfamily while home, you might feel stuck.
I worry about blended families in quarantine where emotions are being processed in a place that doesn’t feel safe. For stepchildren and stepparents alike.
