Advice?
I was asked by a lovely author, Karon Goodman, if I’d like to submit a story for a book she is writing on step-parenting. This is just one of many wonderful books she has written on the subject of step parenting. One of which I reviewed some months ago. She asked if I would contribute a story about my progress in step parenting, you know like a turning point type of thing. The only problem is that at least fifty percent of the time I feel like a failure not only as a step mother but as a mother in general.
Some days I just want to curl up under my sheets, lock my bedroom door, and disappear off the face of the earth. And I’m sure that some days my kids truly wish I would. The days that I hear, “I wish I lived with my dad” or the days I hear my stepson tell another of the kids that he doesn’t like me. The days when it feels like it will all come crashing down around me if something or someone doesn’t save me.
So what do I write for this book. What advice could I possible have to offer???
