There is always a share of the step family conflict when it
comes to blende family. Conflict is actually a part of the families that are
planning to blend together. This is true since these families have different
rules, experiences and expectations from their family. The feelings of anger,
loss, suspicion and blame are normally endured by the parent especially that
these are being thrown to them by their children.
Normally, the defensive mechanism of the step family
partner, the kids and ex-spouse arises when this conflict happens to them. There
are some people who arm themselves with reasons to justify the things that were
said or done while others show how they are being respected and abused. This also
led to telling that their opponent is wrong in thinking. The defensive of the
person normally makes the feelings and ideas of the person to intimidate and silent
but the crux is that the real issue is not being deal with. The unresolved
conflict will grow over the long run until it explodes, which is considered to
be an over-reaction from minor issues. Therefore, you need to know that playing
defense during the conflict is not the best way for you to do.
