Growing pains have never been easy. It's a marathon, not a sprint!

Maintaining the wellness of each family member in a stepfamily or blended family can be incredibly daunting and can lend itself to be super rewarding and at the other end of the spectrum, completely overwhelming to the point where you may think you cannot maintain much longer. Wellness can be tricky. There are so many dynamics and relationships at play that just as you feel you've worked through something with one member of the family, another issue pops up with yet another member of the family. There really are ways through this. But, you cannot take the work lightly.
