Jealousy is a normal human emotion, but sometimes it can interfere with our relationships. It is very common in the blended family to struggle with feelings of jealousy when it comes to your partner's ex spouse or their children. Some common types of jealousy blended families face are

jealousy of the partner's ex spouse and their current relationship as co parents
jealousy of spouse and their relationship with their children
jealousy of spouse and the time they spend with their children
jealousy of spouse life outside of the family, including friends and work
overall jealousy of spouse regarding trust

In this episode I break those down for you in hopes to help you overcome them.
