Did we just make our kids part of a blended family?
Widowed after 40 years of marriage, Jerry married a woman who had been widowed and it dawned on him. “Did we just make our adult children part of a blended family?” Yep, you did. And their spouses and the grandkids. But your adult children may not consider themselves part of a stepfamily. That's common but know that you are a generational blended family. Don’t fight over this; just know it touches every relationship. The more you know about healthy stepfamily living, the stronger you become.
