Episode Transcript
Ron: You see, Ron, I think I destroyed his dreams.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: It was an insight that this stepdad didn’t see for many years but when it dawned on him, it hit him like a ton of bricks. He said, “When I married my stepson’s mother, I destroyed his dream of his parents getting back together.”
Oh, yeah. Many kids of divorce do hold onto that dream. So it’s really hard when their parent marries. And that explains why the boy wasn’t so welcoming to the stepdad. For a long time. The stepdad’s realization helped soften his heart toward his stepson and in time they found their way to each other. Dreams do die hard. And then sometimes, new dreams begin. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
