Monday's Mailbag: Expert Resources

Dear Wicked,

Nice blog... but,what makes you such an expert on stepparenting?

Respectfully,
Stepmom Searching for Guidance


Dear Searching,

Nothing.

I am only an expert in steparenting as it relates to MY life because... well, I'm living it. This blog is about my Life experiences as a Second Wife, Stepmom and Mom. All of it.

The good. The bad. And the ugly.

I write more for myself than anything else. It's a therapeutic outlet to help me navigate the sometimes troublesome waters of my Not-So Fairytale Life. But in so doing I've also gotten some pretty amazing comments and feedback from some pretty amazing Stepmoms who have helped me to learn that I am not alone. And for that I am grateful. I've also received some notes of thanks from other Stepmoms who, like me, felt they were alone. And for that I am also grateful. And humbled to think that my ramblings might actually be of some use to someone else. (Who knew!)

I'm no expert by any means. If you're looking for experts try
Dawn or Jann and Sharyl. These chicks have already won their battles and learned the lessons that I am still learning and have some pretty amazing resources for Stepparents.

I have a ways to go but I will get there. One day.
In the meantime, you're welcome to come along for the ride if you'd like. If not, I can try and help point you in the right direction.

Sincerely,
W.S.
