A Must Read For All Stepmoms By earthboundangel on Sep 25, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

The title of the book is actually Stepmotherhood: How to Survive Without Feeling Frustrated, Left Out, or Wicked, Revised Edition but it was too long to put the whole name in the title area.

I'll admit I was stubborn about becoming a Stepmom. I'm not one to be forced into things, and being a Stepmom felt like being forced into motherhood, being forced to care about and love a child who didn't even belong to me. I found this book while browsing the isles at Chapters. I decided that since I like reading, why not give it a try. Am I ever glad I did! There are so many helpful points in the book that made me feel so much better about myself and my relationship to my stepchild. There were quotes from other Stepmoms and helpful ideas. There were some chapters that didn't pertain to me at all but were still worth reading. I found the book easy to read and understand. It's not a huge book, so it didn't take me long to read through it. Overall, I consider the book to be a great read for Stepmoms new to the title or those who've had the title for years.
