5.0 out of 5 stars Very straight-forward and down-to-earth!!!!, 2 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Stepmotherhood: How to Survive without Feeling Frustrated, Left out, or Wicked (Paperback)

This book draws a true picture of what being a stepmother is really all about. No false hope is involved. I believe this book has given me a base to start with in my new venture as a stepmother. I now realize you don't have to love your stepchild to be a wonderful stepmother.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very down-to-earth advice for step-mothers, 7 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Stepmotherhood: How to Survive without Feeling Frustrated, Left out, or Wicked (Paperback)

This book was an excellent overview for a new step-mom. It has delightful and poignant life-experiences from real step-moms and even biological fathers. Mostly, it lets you know that you are not alone in your feelings for your step-child, even if those feelings are negative. Allows you to see yourself as part of a community, rather than alone in the world and in this particular situation. Helps you to focus on what is important and advises you to let go of the rest. Excellent chapters on focusing on your marriage, how to handle vacations with the step-children, dealing with your husband's ex-wife, and when to get help. All in all, a very fine book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wee life saver, 17 Dec 2003

By A Customer

A really practical but friendly & chatty guide. Whenever a new problem or aspect arises, it's there in this book somewhere. If, like me, you know no-one else in this situation, it's really comforting to see all the myriad of conflicting emotions whizzing around inside your head in plain black and white with some pragmatic & reassuring comment as well. Indispensible if you value your sanity!!
