Descripción
Is there any role as demanding, contradictory, and misunderstood as that of a stepmother?
"Love them as if they were your own...
but don't try to be their mother!"
"You should be a role model as an adult...
but it's not your place to set their boundaries!"
"Be patient."
"Understand them."
"If you just tried a little harder..." This guide covers the realities of becoming part of a family where your partner has children from a previous relationship. It delves into the feelings of being an outsider in your own home, the challenges of connecting with the kids (whether young or grown), the constant presence of your partner's ex in your life, and the uncertainty of finding your place in all of it. Berta Capdevila and Aina Buforn share their personal and professional insights into what real-life stepmothers go through, providing practical tools to navigate the challenges at every stage of that journey. The result is a sense of empowerment and liberation that will help you enjoy your relationship, regain control of your life, and define your unique way of being a stepmother--while staying true to yourself.
