Blended families can be a challenge to make work. When two people get married and combine their families, including children from previous marriages, things can get rather messy. Many times, parents are the ones who cause the most issues and drama, with biological parents feeling threatened and angry when another person comes into the parenting role of their children.
When the biological parents bad-mouth and talk poorly about stepparents in front of the children, it can cause a lot of resentment and anger from the children towards the stepparents. This can create a rift in the entire family dynamic, even impacting marriages.
