Best Resources for "Blended Families" - 12/18/08 05:27 PM
I'm not married or even getting close, but I'm facing a new world that I need some help with.
Heretofore, my relationships since divorce have been with ladies with no kids. I did have one strong friendship with a woman who had kids, but her kids were so traumatized by their folks' divorce that it just wasn't going to go anywhere. She has subsequently married a doctor, and they have no end of trouble I hear based on blended family issues.
I currently am in a relationship with a lady I care alot for & could care tons for given the right situation, but oldest son creates enormous difficulties. Her youngest son & my 2 boys are no problem for the relationship, but not so with her oldest.
Anyway, looking for some resources on blended families to better educate myself for decisions ahead???
Thx,
High Flight
