Blended Families
- Have you
recently remarried?
- Do you have children from your first marriage?
- If so, you’ve
probably experienced many of the challenges that face parents and children
in remarried families.
- Did you know that
over 2000 new blended families are created each day in our country?
- 75%-80% of
the children in these families are able to adapt and become reasonably well
adjusted.
- However, 20% to 25% are troubled: depressed, impulsive, irresponsible
or anti-social.
-
The divorce rate
for remarried families is 10% higher than for first marriages.
While spouses
may divorce each other, they do not divorce their children. 75% of these new blended
families don’t know where to turn for help. Do you know where to turn?
I'm here to help you find solutions to the challenges you face as a re-married couple with children.
I understand the complex issues involved.
I have been working with
blended families for over 30 years. I conduct
continuing education seminars for mental health professionals on this topic. I
can help you find solutions that will reduce your stress, increase family
cooperation and preserve your new marriage.
