@ Mindy – Thanks for this comment, it means a lot to me to hear from fellow step mom. We have the kids full-time, so it was a big adjustment – a ready-made family! I love them dearly, but have learned a lot in the past years. Cheers to happiness!

Your post about being a new step-mom was so well stated. The affection for the new step children is apparent, but the new demands are literally, shocking. I went from one daughter to 2 new rough & rowdy boys that stay with us every weekend. That role is one of balance…. a lot for them and a little for me. That “little for me” seems to work very well to remind me to take care of me! Smiles

Keep elbowing – I don’t think it ever ends!

Thanks for your support, it means a lot. Cheers to finding the perfect place.

I really loved this post, Melissa. Especially the image of “elbowing to find a place.” Not sure why, but that particular image resonated with me. Elbowing to find a place in the world. I think that’s where I am right now.

I’m also inspired to be mindful of how I support the people I love. Am I there for them all along?

I can only imagine how difficult it must be to join an entirely new family and try to figure out where you belong. Good for you, Melissa.
