Here is what some people have to say about “Stepfamily Struggles-Stepfamily Strategies”;
“We have been in our stepfamily for the past five years. We couldn’t seem to stop arguing about our different parenting styles and blaming each other about favoritism towards our biological children. Stepfamily Struggles-Stepfamily Strategies opened our eyes and our hearts to help us understand and accept the biological/step family connection and learn to work on the real family issues.”
-Leslie and Brock S Surrey, B.C.
“Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Finally a book to help to eliminate blame and keep us from constantly feeling defensive. This book walked us through each process with examples and exercises. We struggled at first because we were not use to talking to each other the way it suggested so we contacted Brenda and her patience and guidance helped us to change our responses with one another so we would actually listen.”
-Alex and Wendy C Seattle, Washington
“The Genogram exercise was a real eye opener for me. I didn’t realize how negative I really was towards my ex and his new wife until my daughter and I started talking because of this exercise. She said she felt sad when I said mean things about her dad and stepmom since she really liked her and she made her dad happy. I don’t know if I would have ever had this conversation with my daughter had it not been for your e-book.”
-Kelly P Vancouver, B.C.
