Blended families are becoming more commonplace. It is estimated that one in three children are in a blended family situation. When families merge together there is an incredible amount of change and with change comes resistance. Adjusting to two part-time environments can be very difficult for kids.

Parenting After Divorce - Cooperative, Parallel, Or Somewhere In-Between?
One of many difficult things parents must do after divorce is deal with their child's other parent. While some aspects of "the deal" are spelled out in documents such as temporary or permanent court orders or final marital settlement agreements, most of the "parenting" details are not explicitly written down.

Child Custody - Winning the Most Important Battle of Your Life
In order to win your child custody battle you must first put into perspective the whole win/lose mentality of child custody. Obviously, there is a lot of emotion surrounding child custody as it affects the most important thing in your life; your children. But you must also remember that to win anything, even child custody, you must first get your emotions in check.

Understanding Stepmothers

Customer Review:

Really does understand stepmothers. I picked this up on a trip to Toronto from the U.S. For all stepmothers who are finding their role in the stepfamily more difficult than they anticipated, and who are experiencing guilt for how they feel, this book helps you realize that you are not alone. The author understands that stepmothers have different personalities and experiences, and that there is not one perfect answer to the problems that arise. The book helped me feel not so "wicked" for the negative emotions that sometimes overwhelm me when dealing with ex wives and stepchildren issues. It's one of the best books for stepmothers and for understanding stepmothers that I've read, and I have a library of stepfamily books!
