Stepmom Before Parenting Her Bio Child, Isolation, Age Gaps, Blended Family with Amy Stone - S7 E65
Manage episode 490817126 series 2620907
I was a stepmom before I was a mom. So my first child was my husband's third child.
I have two kids and two stepkids with a pretty fair age-gap between them and bringing everybody together as a family was harder than expected.
I was surprised at how isolating motherhood was ... I was never alone and also felt alone. I did not have depression.
The second birth was much faster than expected and without pain relief which was not at all my plan ...but it is how it went. :-)
