I am a 27 yr old "new" step mom. I do not have children of my own and find it really hard to meet new people who can relate to my situation. Even if you are a Pro at this or even have your own Biokids please feel free to post something. I am always looking for advice from other mom's and would love to meet new friends! If you have any questions please just ask! :)
Have a peaceful day! |

| Thanks for posting this. I have been looking -- in vain so far -- for support and advice from other stepmoms. For some reason there seem to be few resources in this area, considering how much divorce and/or blended families there are in this country. I am a new stepmom. I was married a year ago but have known my stepdaughter for three years. She is a sweet girl, and the more I get to know and enjoy her, the more I long for a more involved role in her life. But her mother lives two hours away from us (her choice; she, my husband, and I all originally had jobs in the same city), so it's very hard to see her on weekends. And her mom is quite controlling about her time and activities. I don't want to challenge her authority, as I respect her position, and she and her daughter are very close. But I do have some values and views that differ from hers, and am resentful I can't express them much. (My husband and I talk about them, but for a bunch of reasons it has been hard for us to take a more active role.) The ex-wife and I have both tried to foster a polite relationship, and we've succeeded -- sort of. Our emails and personal interactions, though brief, are generally civil. But she has quite a volatile temper and from time to time she'll go off on me or my husband, occasionally in front of their daughter, with little warning. I find that off-putting and even scary, from an emotional standpoint. |
