We have a Yours, Mine, Ours blended family. It has been 6 1/2 years and it can be extremely hard on everyone especially the kiddies. We do our best to help them through any confusion and challenges and let them know that they are loved and supported by all their parents.
The biggest challenge is protecting and sheltering them from conflict and disagreements between parents. It's a constant struggle to rise above it and lord knows I have let those stressful situations get the better of me. I am definitely not perfect but we do our best. All I can say is that it is a constant learning experience about ourselves, the kids and others. However difficult it can be, I wouldn't change it for the world. I have a beautiful family that I love very much and our kids love each other as if they were born into the same family.
