Ron: Okay, imagine your parents are madly in love. And then one day you see one of your parents kissing someone else. What do you feel?

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: Well, you probably feel a mixture of anger, confusion, disbelief, and fear. Oh, and insecurity. You feel insecure because the foundation of your life is knowing where you came from, who loves you, and where home is, right? What if that parent is divorced? Or widowed?

To a large degree, a child of any age still feels the same way when they see a parent kissing someone else. It’s just hard. Dating single parents see your new relationship through the eyes of your children and then respond with compassion. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
