Step-Families and Step-Parents
“I’ve met a really nice person but when do I tell the children?”Following the pain of relationship breakdown many people understandably see a new relationship as a second chance for happiness. Indeed the start of a new relationship may have been the trigger point in the ending of a previous relationship.
In either circumstance it is commonly the case that there are children involved on one or both sides, often of school-going age. This makes the new relationship an even more complex challenge. Along with the couples hopes and expectations for each other there is the added requirement to take the children’s needs into consideration. Couples in new relationships with children need to plan and prepare for the particular requirements of what has became known as blended families, otherwise this new relationship may run into difficulties.
At Relationships Ireland, we are here to help you avoid the pitfalls of blended families and manage the transition in the best way for all concerned. We can offer advice and support based on our experience of working with other people who have gone through a similar challenge. Contact us to make an appointment.
