You Are Not Alone

When you are different, all you want is to find others like you.  People you can share your different-ness with.  Shared joys.  Shared woes.  Shared experiences.

This blog is all about reaching out and connecting with other blended families.  My husband and I are each parents of 3 and stepparents of 2.  In other words, we share 5 fabulous and complicated children.  My husband and I are also stepchildren ourselves and we both have half-siblings.

We're are also reaching out because we need to know that we are not doing this alone.  We don't have any close friends who have blended families.  I don't even have many friends or colleagues whose own parents are divorced.  I know there are others out there, but where?  How do we find each other and connect?

So hopefully you are reading this now and you know now that you aren't alone.  We'd love to hear your stories as we share ours.
