Blended Families
When divorced parents bring their families together it can create complex relationships
|
Norbert Fronczak thought stepfamily problems would simply work themselves out when he and Margaret Dancey married seven years ago. His two sons were 3 and 7. Margaret had been married before but had no children. As an African American, she wasn't concerned about mixed-race issues, but she'd read books about stepfamilies and knew trouble was ahead. What the Saratoga couple faced was a long, painful learning curve and a major test of their relationship. The slings and arrows of being in a stepfamily can be brutal. Relationships are complex. New stepparents, ex-spouses and the children are rarely prepared for what's ahead.
