Step-parenting and divorce

Going through a divorce or dealing with step-parenting issues can be both challenging and upsetting. We’re here to help…

I have two teenage daughters from my first marriage. My new husband has no children and can’t cope with mine.

I split up with their dad three years ago because of his alcohol and gambling addictions, which have always come first with him.

My daughter, who is now 11, doesn’t want me to have a friendship let alone a relationship with anyone.

Friends have warned me they could make things very uncomfortable and even my mother gets anxious when I mention them.
