http://www.ianr.unl.edu/pubs/family/nf223.htm

Extractions: Patricia Steffens, Extension Family Life Specialist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Children enter stepfamilies with a history of loss and change beyond their control. They have often experienced a troubled marriage or a painful death. Their family structure has changed dramatically. They wonder if they are "unlovable" and somehow to blame for all that has happened. Adults often believe that "children are young and resilient so they'll bounce back." Children are swept into the turbulence of divorce or death and the drastic changes that follow, and into the dating and remarriage of their parents. They have no control over any of these events that are having a major effect upon their lives and they feel helpless and angry. While it is likely that children are more flexible than adults, their adjustment depends on how well they are helped through this chaotic time. For the parent and stepparent to have a good relationship with their child, they must recognize and understand the child's feelings and what motivates his or her behavior. Loss of Power and Control Children have no choice in the matter of a divorce or death, nor do they have a choice in the events that follow. This powerlessness interferes with their confidence and sense of security. Children, like adults, need to feel they have choice and control in their lives.

Extractions: Clinical Psychologist, Madison, WI One out of two marriages ends in divorce. Sixty percent of second marriages fail, according to the U.S. Census Bureau 66% of marriages and living together situations end in break up, when children are actively involved, according to Stepfamily Foundation statistics. It is predicted that 50% of children in the US will go through a divorce before they are 18. Approximately half of all Americans are currently involved in some form of step relationship. By the year 2000, according to the Census Bureau, more Americans will be living in step families than in nuclear families. In his 1994 study, "The Changing Character of Stepfamilies," Professor of Sociology Larry L. Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin challenges the common perception that the stepfamily is defined by marriage. His research states that: About half of the 60 million children under the age of thirteen in this country are currently living with one biological parent and that parent's current partner. Nearly half of all women, not just mothers, are likely to live in a stepfamily relationship, when we include living-together families in our definition of the stepfamily.

Extractions: This webpage has been created for stepmothers everywhere, from someone who has "Been there; Done that!", to let you know that you are not alone. Your situation is not unique. There are many people and resources out there to help you. There are many more links available than the ones I have listed at the bottom of this page. This is just a starting point. I have also included a list of books you can get from your local library, or buy. Stereotyping people and situations is responsible for many of the problems in this world. There is such a preconceived idea of what the "family" should be: "a biological father, mother, big brother and little sister". What a real family is, is a group of people who live together, help each other and love each other. There need not be "blood" ties in order to care about and love another person, large or small. There are also many preconceived ideas of what a "stepmother" is; I shall probably never forgive the Brothers Grimm for their fairy tale stepmothers, who are nothing short of the wicked witch of the north. In reality, stepmothers are just like any other kind of mother - they care, they worry, they love, they get angry, they get over it, they make mistakes, and sometimes they overprotect; but for the most part they mean well. They are just people doing the best they know how. I firmly believe that a person is who they are, even before they are born. When a person arrives in this world, there is no instruction book that comes with them. This small person has no language skills with which to tell you what they do and don't like, or even who they are. You have to make the effort to get to know them, learn who they are, what their preferences are, and if possible try to help them grow into a responsible, compassionate, and contented large person. This bonding process of learning to know and learning to love takes place over the course of their being an infant, a toddler, a child and continues through the teen years. Ideally a deep love and attachment grows between parent and child that will last through their whole lives.

Extractions: What can turn an unsatisfying relationship into an extraordinary relationship? Couple Skills - A system of communication and problem-solving techniques that will: Since 1982, I have been in private practice specializing in couples counseling. I found that I spent the majority of my time as a translator - that is, I listened to each partner, translating those feelings into concepts that the other partner could easily understand. I then began to teach each couple how to do this on their own. They learned how to communicate their feelings, perceptions and expectations to each other. They learned how to resolve their current problems, and also to identify and defuse future difficulties. They learned how to make their relationship more rewarding, gaining an emotional intimacy that will last throughout their lives. Couple Skills are simple and easy to learn. They can be incorporated into any relationship without any major upheavals. Plus, these skills are universal. Once learned, they can be applied to almost any situation that arises within the relationship. I have dedicated my life to helping couples of all ages create happier and healthier relationships. Now you, too, can learn these same skills. In addition to my timely topics, my seminars, lectures and workshops, and my book are described here on the website.

http://www.ianr.unl.edu/pubs/family/nf212.htm

Extractions: Pat Steffens, Extension Family Life Specialist Previous Category Catalog Order Info This is the first in a series of NebFacts developed to support and strengthen stepfamilies. For further information please contact your local Extension office. Stepfamilies are Different...Not Deficient! Forty percent of all marriages today are remarriages for at least one of the partners. Approximately 65 percent of these remarriages involve children from a prior marriage. Thus, stepfamilies are formed. A stepfamily is not worse than, better than, or a substi-tute for other families: it is simply different. There are challenges in all types of families, and adults and children in any type of family have similar goals. However, step-families face a more complicated journey because they involve more people in more complex relationships. In addition, there are several characteristics that are unique to stepfamilies. Recognizing and understanding these differences and how they may affect your stepfamily is important to the development of your relationships. Parents, stepparents and children can utilize their individual strengths to create strong, satisfying stepfamilies. Born of Loss The first difference to be recognized is that the step-family is born of loss. Two people entering into marriage for the first time usually have not experienced the major losses of divorce or death that members of a new stepfamily have known. For adults and children, feelings ofinsecurity, sadness and anger can all result from the loss of the bio-logical family or the loss of the dream of the perfect marriage/family.

Extractions: Today, more than 33 percent of all U.S. children are expected to live in a stepfamily before age 18. Born of conflict and loss, newfound commitment and often heartwrenching transition, these families confront myriad lifestyle adjustments and challenges. Children of stepfamilies face a higher risk of emotional and behavioral problems and are less likely to be resilient in stressful situations, psychologists' research has found.

Extractions: Stepfamily life can be hell... consequently, fewer than half of all couples who begin a new family remain together. The process of recreating family, while at the same time holding together a new relationship, is fraught with complications. This book presents in seven steps the secrets that make it possible for couples to build new-family, or stepfamily, while not only saving their intimate relationships but enriching them as well. Yes, stepfamily life can be hell but it doesn't have to be! What Others are Saying About this Book... "This is an original, provocative, and practical book, offering guidance and inspiration to couples struggling with the the dynamics of the ready-made family. Brandes is an expert who takes us quickly to the bottom line of what is necessary to create a harmonious family that includes children birthed in the previous relationships of one or both partners. I highly recommend it."
