#98: Overcoming Co-Parenting Fear and Comparison

Welcome back to another episode of the Synergistic Stepparenting podcast! I’m Maria Natapov, your guide on this journey to creating a harmonious and joyful blended family. Have you ever dealt with co-parenting fear and comparison in your blended family role? 

Imagine this: you start your day feeling the weight of all your responsibilities. You worry about how your stepchildren will react to your guidance, how to navigate the tension with your ex-spouse, and how to keep your family united. You fear not being accepted or loved by your stepchildren, and you’re constantly second-guessing your every move.

The tension doesn’t stop there. You’re also dealing with misunderstandings and conflicts with your partner’s ex. Every interaction feels like walking a tightrope, trying to avoid conflict but somehow stepping into it with every move you make. It feels like no matter what you do, you can't seem to do anything right.

Does this sound familiar? Are you struggling to connect with your stepkids while feeling the constant strain of dealing with their other biological parent? Do you feel like you’re always walking on eggshells, trying to avoid conflicts and keep the peace, yet somehow causing more friction?

If you’re nodding along, then today’s episode is for you. Find the show notes for this episode at https://SynergisticStepparenting.com/98.
