"Hello, and welcome to the StepFamily Center! We are here to help those of you in the unique dynamic of Stepfamily life. As a Stepmother myself for more than 27 years, I know the challenges we face are very different on most days from the “normal” nuclear family. One out of 3 Americans will live as part of a Stepfamily at some point in their life, so Stepfamilies are hardly unusual! Still, while Stepfamily life has become so much more predominant, we still attempt to manage it with the same expectations as those of a nuclear family. Often, there are more questions than answers, and more confusions and disruptions than we could have expected. When I became a Stepmom many years ago, and all through my experience, I wished I had somewhere to turn. The StepFamily Center is my dedication to helping all of us understand Stepfamily life more fully so that we can move through the challenges to develop a rewarding Stepfamily experience!"
