Maybe you, like this person, grew up in a blended family and, as she said, "Lived through all the wrong ways to do blended." We all carry a little residue from our family of origin. We can't help but come out with a little bit no matter what kind of family it was. This woman wants to learn from it...to learn about healthy stepfamily living so her kids have it better than she did. Learn from your past, and by God's grace, change the future.
