Why do 60% of blended families end in divorce?
Living in a Step Family is a balancing act of grief, new family life, and navigating the maze of mixed feelings, different parenting styles, and the many relationships in your kid’s life. What are some of the do’s and don’ts?
How do you keep relationships with extended family?
Be open. Expect the unexpected. Develop good working relationships, communication skills, and problem solving skills.
