STEPPARENTS & DIVORCE: PART TWO
Divorce is an upsetting event for children, partly because it means a fragmentation of the family life they have always known. Another problem is that children often feel responsible for the breakup, which leads to major stressful feelings. There are ways to help the entire family through this difficult time.

Stepparents and Family Meetings
Regular meetings help the stepfamily to build strong bonds and a feeling of being a family. Everyone has a chance to contribute , which helps to keep frustrations from growing. With two families joining together, there are different routines and guidelines that will be altered to suit the new family. Meetings also are a good time for discussing family achievements, or planning vacations.

Stepparents and Marriage: Part Two
In a stepfamily or blended family, there usually is so much going on that the two adults tend to overlook the fact that they need time together. Besides giving them a chance to work through differences in opinions about the home or future plans, it also should at least occasionally allow them an opportunity to simply enjoy each other's company.

STEPPARENTS AND SCHOOL
Research shows that children do much better at school if their families are involved in the learning process. This also helps a stepparent feel closer to the family. There are, however, legal changes that need to be made before stepparents can become fully active in school-related activities.

Stepparents and the Other Parent: Part Two
Parental Alienation is a controversial topic and a lot has been written about it. The children are manipulated to turn against one parent, or used as messengers to take negative comments back to the other parent. These verbal attacks can be accidental, or they may be carefully planned.

STEPPARENTS: LOVING THE STEPCHILD
When stepchildren are slow to accept a stepparent, it usually is considered a normal reaction to change. It isn't, however, seen as acceptable when a stepparent requires time to adjust to the child, and this expectation of instant love is both unreasonable and unfair.
