I was resent to being a blended family member due to my
ex-spouse. I never thought that my kids will go to live on this kind of family
and setup. Since the time of our divorce and his remarriage, the kids spent
half of their time with me and half from my ex-spouse and new wife. This didn’t
provide happiness to me especially that I need to be a participant in his new
step family. Since me and my ex share the custody to the children, we always
discuss the matters regularly. What makes it difficult for me is to be with
them during the sports event of the kids where parents are required to attend.
This led me to look for blended family advice that will allow me to not seeing
them as couple and not seeing her with my kids.
It is true that your ex-spouse may not be your spouse at
present but you are still going to be the forever biological parents of the
children. You will learn sometimes why it is painful to be with your ex-spouse
sometimes especially when the step family is present. However, there are
instances where you become the Mom and Dad of the children during special
events. It’s not about you and your
ex-spouse or his or her new spouse, but it is the time to support your kids as
their parents. It all gets easier when you focus yourself as parent to your
children. Should you need blended family advice for your family, you can visit
The Blended and Step Family Resource Center.
