Stepparenting: It's Not Personal
We all know that divorce is hard on kids, right? But did you know that adjusting to a parent’s remarriage is even harder.
A young woman whose mom had remarried told me, “I really love my stepdad now but early on I was completely against him. Please understand it wasn’t him but rather the idea of him I had to get used to.” When the ingredients of a blended family are thrown together the adults need to remember that what feels like resistance or rejection of the stepparent is sometimes just adjustment to more change. It’s not always personal. So be longsuffering and have lots of grace for one another.
