Stepparent – Feeling like the outsider
Stepparent – Feeling like the outsider by Jo Ball – The Stepfamily Coach
Four
years ago I joined with my partner and his two children. In the
beginning it was lovely to have the children around. I was in the
'Getting Going' stage – the fantasy stage – and found family life easy,
getting along well with everyone.
As the months passed by I began to notice more and more how much of an
outsider I felt in their cosy trio. They had a history together, I
didn't. They knew each other's needs, I didn't. They knew the routines
backwards, I didn't. They knew how to get what they wanted from each
other, I didn't.
