Between a Parenting Rock and a Hard Place
Parents need to be on the same side, right? Well, what if you can’t?
Biological parents in stepfamilies walk a delicate line as they back up the stepparent, and at times, speak up for their kids. How do they do that? Don’t step into the middle of every conflict. They need to figure this out on their own. But when you do have something to say to your spouse, start with this, “Because I support you, I want to share my thoughts about what is happening.” Moving toward your spouse is the first step toward helping your spouse and children move toward each other.
