Smart Step Mom
Air Date March 29, 2010
Summary
The stepmother’s role often is ambiguous and underappreciated, and it frequently carries unrealistic expectations. Laura Petherbridge joins us to talk about questions and concerns that many step mothers face, such as “How can I be a caretaker and a key emotional connector if the children don’t accept my influence?” or “How should I cope with children who are confused about their family and torn between their loyalty to their biological mother and me?”
