Being in a stepfamily is different from other family types. It just is.
Anyone on the journey of becoming or being in a stepfamily knows that stepfamily life is complex. Members can often feel isolated, misunderstood and unrecognised.
Who do we talk to about our struggles?
Who understands the unique challenges we face and can validate our often very conflicted feelings?
Who and where do we turn to for guidance, support and encouragement and a sense of direction when everyting feels chaotic and unpredictable?
Marcia Watts - step-parent, parent, wife, relationships councellor and psychotherapist - knows the reality of being in a stepfamily from both personal and professional experience.

With real-life anecdotes, advice on parenting, grief, ex-factors and looking after yourself, and resources for professionals, A Step Up for Stepfamilies is the essential handbook to successfully navigate stepfamily life.
