I'm glad you found it 😊
Steps can be hard I think. My hubby is step to our boys but he's their father in every important way. I think eschewing the notion of control is even more beneficial with steps because it erases the possibility of that "You're not my real parent" antagonism. I hope you stick around for upcoming posts on the actual nuts and bolts changes we made that have led to a far more peaceful and joyous family unit. Best of luck to you and yours 😊
