Being a Dad & Stepdad

There is a huge variety of online resources and support for mums and stepmums. Rightfully so.

Not so much for dads or stepdads. I don’t know why this is. We have unique challenges and feelings to overcome, blended family or not. We too have to navigate the divorce or separation process and have to come to terms with being a single parent.

How do you come to terms with spending less time with your kids when you separate/divorce? What about when you meet someone else and end up spending more time with someone else’s kids than your own? How do you be a Dad and Step-Dad at the same time? What about all the general parenting stuff you are supposed to be doing?

It can feel totally overwhelming.

But it doesn’t have to be.

Here you’ll find my thoughts, opinions and experiences of being a Dad to 2 and a Step-Dad to 2.
