If you have kids, then there's a very good chance there will be some type of stepparent role after your divorce - either with your new partner and their kids or your ex's new partner and your own kids. We know it's hard to accept a stepparent in your kids' lives, mostly because we don't want someone else involved in decisions being made and of course the fear of how much our kids will like/love this new person, and how it will affect our relationships with our kids. But there are so many things to know about how to be a stepparent and how to handle your kids having a stepparent, and it really doesn't have to be the nightmare we've seen in movies. We dig deep in this episode and it will be a huge help to everyone out there trying to deal with this situation. (Guest: Maria Napatov, Stepparenting Coach)
