  • How can I be a caretaker and a key emotional connector in the family if the children don't accept my influence?
  • How should I cope with children who are confused about their family and torn between loyalty to their biological mother and me?
  • When should I step back in conflicts & when should I insist that my husband stand up for me?
  • What is my role with adult stepchildren?
  • In addition it addresses the spiritual and emotional climate of the home, providing perspective and guidelines to help stepmothers and their families thrive.

Includes discussion questions for groups.
