Hi everyone!
I am so glad I found this forum all the way from Australia! I'm step mum to two beautiful children SD14 & Ss12. I have been in their lives for 10 years. Hoping the journey would get easier but haven't got there yet. What I have found though since listening to the podcast is to block BM out. I no longer deal with her due to the way I have been treated the last 2 years, my husband does all the contact and my mental health is so much better for it.
I love that there is a space for step mums to connect with other step mums as it makes me feel less alone in my journey and finally find people that fully understand what I am going through.
Hi from Australia also. I just came across this site today, I have only just listened to an episode of the podcast on step-parenting a neuro diverse child. I have 2 stepsons, 10y and 6y (Autistic). It's been a rollerocaster and isolating. I have struggled to really work out how I am feeling in all this, it's confusing and complex.
I want to post under the Neurodiversity forum category but can't seem to find a way to start off the forum. I can't see the post option on my desktop haha.
