Publisher's Synopsis
During times of stress, our personal coping resources, and consequently our parenting skills, may need a boost - or a break. A separation or divorce, an illness or death, moving, or even a financial issue like a home foreclosure can result in a storm of feelings for kids and parents alike.
This guidebook has been written from the experience of life. I have been part of a family and have been in stepfamily situations too. Even now, many years on, I have very mixed feelings about it all. Yet, we all learn to survive.
I have shared my strategies on coping with family and stepfamily situations because I wish I'd been told beforehand. When you know what options you have; you make better life decisions.
