Statistics show 42% of marriages end in divorce, and 34% end before their 20th wedding anniversary.  This can have huge implications with not only managing the children from previous relationships, let’s be honest for one moment here, do we react the same way to our own children as other peoples? Of course we don’t, we make allowances for our own children and it might be more difficult to establish the same relationship with someone else’s children…just saying! (I haven’t even mentioned the interfering ex-partner.)  Then of course there’s the exclusive challenge of step children, sibling rivalry, child custody, safeguarding and financial affairs. A professional therapist is ready to lend a hand in navigating you and possibly other family members through this new territory to enable a healthier and happier blended family experience.
