Given divorce rates, and, recent data like the top 9 states for remarriage – it’s no wonder that blended families are the new normal. There was a time, in this country (not too long ago we might add) when divorce and blended families were few and far between (barring extreme circumstances). And while we certainly will not try to make this series a social statement about marriage, divorce and how our society has changed. We’ll just assume that it has–dramatically.
What we’re here to talk about, are the many challenges that blended families face and the new normal for thousands of families. The truth is, whether you two work together or not–what you do, good or bad, will not only affect your children, but their children and their children after them.
Blended families, can often feel like swimming upstream–working so hard, feeling as if you’re always taking one step forward and two steps backward.
