I was surfing the web this morning with my first cup of coffee and found this blog, authored by Jen Abbass:  http://generationexfiles.blogspot.com/

She wrote a book about adult children experiencing their parents’ divorce.  She talked about an article she wrote about what step kids want yu to know.  I liked it and wanted to pass it on for others to read and consider.

The article offers five "lessons the Brady Bunch didn't teach us:

1. We need time to adjust.
2. We need to know it's OK to grieve our loss.
3. We feel torn. Don's ask us to pick sides.
4. We need to feel like we have a say.
5. We need to know we're loved.

Good advice for all of us.
