Today’s pep talk is simple. I just want you to know you are not alone.
You're not.
As isolated as you may feel, as many cheerleading posts about stepparenting that you might read (and then feel guilty that you don't feel like a cheerleading kinda stepparent), know that stepparenting being hard is also normal.
It took me years of feeling frustrated, stuck, and lonely AF before I finally figured out how to feel okay within my blended family, and okay with my role as a stepmom.
Some folks may waltz gracefully into stepparenthood with no problems whatsoever, but I promise you they are NOT the majority. The majority looks more like… drowning in mixed feelings 24/7, not feeling sure of what the right or wrong way to do ANYTHING is, and generally beating your head against a brick wall.
If that sounds like you, welcome! I’m glad you found your way here. If you’re looking to connect with other stepparents in the same boat, we’d love it if you’d join our Substack support community. xo
