Relationships With Abby Rodman

Did you know the #1 reason second marriages derail is because new spouses can't figure out how to navigate the challenges of step-parenting?  If it seems your partner will do almost anything to remain connected to his/her kids -- even allowing themselves to be controlled or manipulated -- you may find yourself in a difficult and frustrating position as their stepparent. Psychotherapist Abby Rodman -- a stepparent herself -- discusses six common issues stepparents face, and suggests ways to approach your spouse so he/she will hear your concerns. Together, you can make the necessary changes to ensure step-parenting success and a happy marital future. Don't join the ranks of the second marriage divorces. Communication is the key and silence is the enemy. It's time to have the crucial conversations that will keep your marriage and blended family -- on track.
