FamilyLife Blended®

This week I’m talking to kids in single parent and stepfamily homes—and the adults who love them.

Kids, have you ever felt happy and sad about your family, at the same time? Or maybe you like your stepparent but want to push away in the same moment. It’s confusing. There are good things and a few things you’d like to change, too. Here are some tips. To deal with those confusing emotions give yourself permission to feel them. Then make the choice to live with the situation. This doesn’t mean you’re thrilled about everything. It means you are finding a way to cope. With God’s help, you can.
