If you're tired of feeling like the wicked stepmother/stepfather, frustrated with trying to blend your family/families, and you want to walk away, don't give up yet! Much of what you are going through as a stepparent is normal (for stepparenting) and predictable, and with some tweaks to what you're already doing, you can make it through this. This book combines practical experience with principles of psychology/human behavior, and Sara's knowledge of stepparenting challenges to help you feel more fulfilled and less frustrated.
In this book, you'll learn the areas over which you have influence, who you can change, how to change your subconscious patterns (like an internal operating system), how to better handle conflicts, and focus on your relationship with your partner. In each chapter, you will have exercises to help you learn about yourself, your relationships, and help you recognize what's in your control.
