Blended family life is challenging. Do you ever feel like your stepchildren’s biological or adopted parents get everything right, while you seem to never be good enough? How can a stepparent break through the crushing glass ceiling of being the relational outsider? 

In this episode we discuss:  how to be emotionally resilient as we stumble through our stepchildren’s expectations and disappointments;  how to seek and incorporate their feedback into our habits; and the value of apologizing when we don’t feel like we did anything wrong.
