Step Parents
The role of step parent is unique.
Blended families are becoming increasingly more common; however, there are few resources available for effectively navigating the relationships of these unique family dynamics. Step parents play an important role in the family and it comes with challenges. It can feel confusing and frustrating being a step parent. It takes time to build the bond, establish trust and navigate boundaries and roles.
Being raised by my father for 10 years, I had different stepmothers who were very influential in my life. Little did I know I would become a stepmother years before I became a mother. I am familiar first hand with the inherent challenges of this unique role and I’m here to help.
