Those who expect a blended family to be just like a first-time family will be disappointed. Blended families are even more challenging. Couples bringing two families together should count the cost and be highly educated about the process. Far too few adults know how to co-parent well, address anger issues, or set healthy boundaries. Maxine Marsolini's workbook discusses topics common to all blended families. This well-planned series of lessons considers outcome thinking not just crisis management. She adds insights to unforeseen emotions, children's issues, and the added conflict between homes.
