How To Be A More Assertive Stepparent
Stop falling for the guilt trips
Divorce sucks and they can be especially hard on children. They didn’t ask for this. No child wants to see their parents break up and it can be hard for children to see their parents with someone new. This is all true, but what’s also true is that you had nothing to do with anything of those things, so feel free to let go of the guilt. Continuing to carry the weight of this will only make you crazy and convince that you’re required to tolerate inappropriate behavior.
