4.1 The Myth of the Blended Family

Summary

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that stepfamilies aren’t required to blend. They have a much more noble mission in my opinion, which is to “mend”. When you shift your focus, everything could change for your family.

The book I mentioned is Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach.
