Learning Life This Way

What No One Says About Blended Families


Listen Later

There are so many aspects to consider when you are with a partner who has children from another relationship. How well do you get along with the other parent? Does the biological parent help set the tone for the relationship? How much do you get involved in their dynamic? How do you navigate when you are entering a family and you have your own set of beliefs?

This week I get real about my experience being a step parent, especially being the "new woman." It definitely takes work from all parties involved, but it also doesn't have to be a terrible experience. I also talk about how I overly gave of myself because I was afraid of being labeled the "evil stepmother" that it led me to starting therapy.


How has your experience been being a step parent? Or if you have a step parent how has your relationship been with them? Did your biological parent encourage you all to foster a relationship?
