I saw a meme today that stated that Stepmothers have the highest rate of anxiety and depression. Stepmoms, How do you manage this? What do you do to keep yourself mentally healthy or is this a struggle for you?

The Holidays are here! We have 2 custody schedules that make things a bit crazy. My daughter has 50/50 custody and I have a good relationship with her dad, so if I have a scheduled holiday over his parent time, then we make up the time so it is always 50/50.
Michaels kids have a different kind of schedule, if a holiday falls on our parent time and it's his ex's holiday, then we just miss out on that time. So in November will will only have them for 5 days. Doesn't seem like that is in the best interest of the kids.

How do some of you do handle custody and time with your schedules? How do you feel about "making up time" like my ex and I?

Last night was one of those moments when I just wanted to give up. It was one of those moments where I just want to leave my family behind because they were not making an effort to make things happen like I was.
I was so frustrated and upset because all I wanted to do was go up to the mountains and enjoy the fall colors, to have a campfire, and take in the last warm days before winter.
I crave the mountains, they are my spiritual sanity and I was in starvation mode, easily triggered and extra emotional.
Here I was, in an hours time, trying to get 8 kids ready to go, prep dinner to cook on the campfire, pack the camp chairs, wood, plates, utensils, warm clothes and everything else involved so we can leave and still have enough daylight to make it worth our time. Sure the kids were as helpful as kids can be, but there was not urgency from anyone. This was something that I wanted to do, something that I wasn't going to let anyone get in my way of spending time in the great outdoors to revive my sanity, so I decided to just leave by myself. Right as I was walking out the door to leave, and allow my family to fend for themselves, Michael pulls into the driveway. I think this was the first time I was not excited to see my husband, because now I knew that I would have to wait!!
A few minutes later we are on the road, now with only an hour of daylight left and I am fed-up and deflated. About a mile done the road, Michael looks at me and asks "did you pack the lighter" No- No I didn't. Just one more thing to keep us from time spent up there.
I started to say that is wasn't even worth going. Why bother? My tension, which resulted in the tension of everyone, was thick and heavy. My attitude could be felt, and as mother, is going to be mimicked or received negatively by my children. My heart wanted so badly to go our normal picnic spot 45 min away, all of these thoughts were swirling around my head as he asked me about the lighter.
It was that moment that could have resulted in turning the van around and going home and have the negative emotions stay and build into something bigger. Instead we leaned into discomfort, even though the circumstance were far from ideal or perfect and decided to still go and decided on somewhere closer to give us more time, and the opportunity to buy a lighter.
The weighted energy that filled the van as we drove lingered until we arrived. The moment that we stepped outside and gathered our things, was the moment that changed for everyone. All we did was allow the kids to explore, did cook dinner over a campfire, and roast marshmallows. I felt better, renewed and whole again. The kids were bonding, laughing and having so much fun together. It's moments like these that change the way we move our family forward. To have turned the van around and go home would have only compounded our negative energy, which would have resulted in a much different story than the one I am telling you now.
Our family isn't successful because we follow secret tips and tricks, our family is successful because we keep trying, we keep pushing forward, and that is what makes all the difference.

This IS WHY

I sat watching the legacy my parents have created. This would be the last family gathering in at my parents house and almost all of us were here. The storm that had owned the last 2 days passed to provide us with a spectacular golden hour and a chance to play in their magical yard once more. The grandsons were all playing kick ball as the granddaughters dressed up in my mothers vintage dresses taking pictures.

In a couple of weeks my parents will be downsizing and moving into an adult community that will be a wonderful place to spend the rest of their years.
I looked over at my mother who was watching from the porch swing. Tears were rolling down her checks as she took in the last precious moments. I took her hand, and quietly said “just think of it as relocating these memories and passing the torch to us kids.”
She said, “I raised you all to be independent, and I couldn’t ask for anything better than for exactly what this moment is.” She squeezed my hand and I knew exactly what she was feeling…… She gave me, and my siblings, the torch. I felt and saw my whole life up to this point and could see what was now my, and my sisters, responsibility to keep family activities going together.

My mom and dad were successful in creating the Legacy they imagined. I know it hasn’t been easy, I remember growing up the hardships, the financial difficulties, the disagreements, even if they seemed so few and far between. My parents made it through, and showed us all how to work through anything.

When you go through divorce, no one tells you that you will grieve the life you had. We think of ending the relationship with your spouse to find your own way to happiness. But when a marriage ends, the legacy you envisioned when you first fell got married is gone. Your life will NEVER be the same. To grieve for your past married life (even if it was horrible) is a REAL thing and needs to be talked about more.

We will hate, be bitter, have denial, maybe plead for your life back or even try to re-create it with someone else, you will have days of depression, and even happy days of acceptance and excitement. There is no right way to greive, just understand that you are. Have grace with yourself, have grace and patience with your kids as they move through their grieving stages at their own time.

Healing IS possible. For you and your children.

We can help you create the Legacy you always dreamed of. It won’t be easy. As you move forward with the proper Roadmap, Tools and Mentors you will see that Legacy build itself back, piece by piece.

It’s TIME TO CREATE THE LEGACY YOU ALWAYS KNEW WAS POSSIBLE!

BIO PARENTS:
If your child/ children have a step parent they care for it DOESNT MEAN YOUR NOT GOOD ENOUGH! It means that they are desiring the love and acceptance from an adult who cares about them. You will always be their parent and they will always want your love and acceptance.
