Back in September we did the perspective series, a month long series focusing on the perspective of people in the blended family. However, we never took into account the perspective of a child in the blended family home. Oftentimes we overlook a child’s feelings because we are too busy worrying about our own relationship and situation. Some common feelings a child may experience while being part of a divorce or a blended family are

 

• Feeling like a divorce is their fault
• Wanting to know what really happened (why did my parents get divorced?)
• Wondering why their parent is acting different
• Wondering or hoping their parents will get back together
• Feeling like they will be replaced by their new stepparent or step siblings
• Struggling with feelings of not liking their new stepparent or step siblings
• Feeling like they are not getting enough attention
• Feeling like they don't have a say in anything that is happening in their life
