Based on personal experience and expert insight, this book can help your new family learn to work and play together and to love and respect each other.
A Helpful Guide for Ready-Made Families Seeking Loving
Relationships
Raising children is no easy task. Especially if they are children
from your husband's or wife's previous marriage. Just at the moment
you are trying to build a strong relationship with your new spouse,
conflicts arise with the children. Can you hold your new family
together? According to experts, most second and third marriages
dissolve because of disagreements about the children.
That need not happen to you. Your family can learn to work and play
together, to love and respect each other.
Written with a touch of humor, founded on personal experience and
professional insight, The Blended Family can help you
to
• learn how to join your spouse in "co-conducting" your children's
activities
• free yourself from the guilt of past marital failure
• establish your parental role on solid ground
• become an "insider" in your new family rather than feel like an
intruder
• deal with the problems of "extended families" left from previous
marriages
• overcome sibling rivalries
• build new family traditions that unite
• and much more!
Tom Frydenger is a professional family counselor who did not count on his work following him home. Adrienne brought not only her talents as a writer to their marriage, but Nichole (left) and Jennifer (right), the children of her previous marriage. In 1982, a son, Luke, was born into the Frydenger's "blended family." They live in Decatur, Illinois, where Tom continues his counseling practice.
