Publisher's Summary
An extremely empathetic and non-judgmental approach to an often seemingly impossible situation.
Welcome to your new role as a stepparent, where you inevitably are doing everything wrong. When looking at any of the blogs, forums, or social accounts dedicated to stepparenting, you know it's not for the faint of heart. Building a new family rarely happens in an idyllic fairy tale setting, and even if it did, was there ever a fairy tale where the step-parent wasn't evil?
The reality is that stepparenting is hard, but made harder by our own expectations and ideas of what it should look like.
The Stepparent Trap approach is based on reality and empathy. By embracing a new way to think about the family dynamics, you can begin to build real relationships with your stepchildren based on understanding, not just expectations.
