Insider/outsider syndrome and your stepfamily
Time together and time apart is the ideal mix for stepfamilies – one that’s necessary and acceptable. This is a common dynamic in early stepfamily life. Don’t be afraid to be frank and honest, disclose how you feel. This helps to bridge the differences experiences as you are trying all come together, creating the ‘ours’ family out of the ‘yours’ and ‘mine’ you started with.
