To All The Stepmoms In The Trenches

I’m with you.

For the determined stepmom who is in the trenches, I feel you.

For the new stepmom who cried this morning, I’ve been there.

For the seasoned stepmom who still battles resentment, I’m with you.

This road can feel long. It can be treacherous, and it can be confusing. Knowing which path to take at any given time can feel impossible.

There are so many forks in the winding and steep roads of step-parenting.

There are moments when you must bite your tongue and there are moments when you must use your voice. Figuring out which moments require action or non-action is always difficult. But, ultimately you will make a choice and you will battle through those fields of uncertainty.

As the generations go by, the role of a stepmother is becoming more and more significant in our society. Not only are the numbers of stepmothers rising steadily but so are the numbers of children in their care full-time.

The idea of the wicked stepmother has become like fairy dust blowing away in the winds of outdated fairy tales glorifying some concept of an evil woman.

In truth, biological mothers can be just as wicked as stepmothers or any other person at any given time. It is not the role of step-mothering itself that makes a woman wicked. It’s just society’s perception of how and what a woman in a “mothering” position should be and act like.

In fact, more stepmoms than ever are raising children from the infant or toddler years. Many stepmoms are not just doing this job part-time, some of the time, or just every other weekend. They are in it 24/7, 7 days a week.
