What we’re about
After years of being a step-mum, and not really knowing who I can talk to, who will understand, and what the hell I was supposed to be doing... I have created a group to find like-minded others.
This group is simply for step-parents (new or veterans) who would benefit from meeting others who truly understand the challenges of what it's like to be thrown into parenting someone else's children.
There are, I think, certain stigmas attached to us step-parents that I would like to squash, and although there are LOTS of us around it's seems we are rarely acknowledged, understood or appreciated. So let's do it for ourselves. :)
I want this group to feel supportive, and positive. I can totally understand how easy it is to get caught in the negative "bitching" spiral when it comes to blended families, so please try to come with a positive growth mindset.
My plan is to set up a meet in a pub somewhere near Putney... watch this space!
