You Can Be a Smart Stepmom
In today's complicated stepfamily, the stepmom often doesn't know where to turn for help. Let stepfamily expert Ron Deal and experienced stepmom Laura Petherbridge show you how to survive and thrive as a stepmom, including:
- How to be a positive influence on children who are torn between loyalty to their biological mom and to you.
- What to do when you feel ostracized, rejected, or lonely.
- When and how to step back during conflict and let your husband take the lead.
- How to handle holidays, adult stepchildren, between-home communication, and much more.
Here is the hope, encouragement, and practical information you need for the stepmom journey.
"Finally, a book that is realistic and practical for stepmoms. I highly recommend this book."--GARY D. CHAPMAN, author of The Five Love Languages and Love As a Way of Life
"With kindness, practical tools, and keen wisdom, [Ron L. Deal and Laura Petherbridge] walked me through the nuances of being a stepmom and gave me fresh hope for my stepfamily. Don't give up, friend. Help is on the way."--Michele Cushatt, author of Undone: A Story of Making Peace with an Unexpected Life
