I’ve been sharing all these little tips and reminders and pep talks and advice for many days in a row now, so I feel like maybe this is a good time for a disclaimer.
Please remember that no stepparenting advice applies to every stepparent. If what you're doing works for you & your family, keep right on doing it! Feel free to ignore any "rules" about blending your family that don't apply to you and would never work for you.
Blended families come in an infinite variety of flavors — the key is to find a way forward that works for you and your family. Which could look very, very different from what works for someone else.
It’s so easy to get inside our heads about this and worry that we’re blending our family upside down and backwards. You’re not, I promise. You’re just finding your way, exactly the same as all the rest of us.
If you’d like some extra solidarity along the way, please come join our support community in Substack! We have a private chatroom for troll-free venting, plus you can get advice from me & Dan in our weekly Q&A. But the best part is that you’ll get to connect with a bunch of awesome stepparents who totally get it. xo⠀⠀⠀⠀
