Ron: Fairytales expect moms and stepmoms to be at odds. But it’s a wish come true for kids when they aren’t.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: I just love it when people send me success stories. I heard from a stepmom who attended one of my stepfamily conferences and learned how to respond in a loving way to her husband’s difficult ex-wife.
You see, the mom resented the stepmom and was threatened by her; so she talked bad about her and poisoned her kids against her. But despite that the stepmom responded in love. And with time, her goodwill won the mom over. Together, they emailed me a picture of the two of them laughing and holding one another’s children. Now that’s the fairytale every kid hopes will come true. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
