Women in Stepfamilies Groups

People in stepfamilies often feel isolated and alone.

Families can be stuck:

• in the dating stage,
• when thinking of joining households,
• when a wedding date is set,
• when there's a new baby,
• during vacations and summer holidays,
• when financial questions loom,
• when there are custody changes,
• when children leave for college or work,
• when adult children plan to marry.

We all have a picture of family. It is not usually a stepfamily.

Group members share support and information about stepfamily issues.
