[quote=Anonymous]I found this show useful: https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2016/01/27/blended-families-step-families-divorce Takeways: go really slow and the tween and early teen years can be the hardest for blending If DH and his ex have a contentious relationship (regardless of whose fault that is) and his kids just finished a year of therapy related to that, it sounds like you and DH moved pretty fast to blend. I think you need to lower your standards for "family unit" and take it slow with his kids. Disrespect isn't acceptable, but you also need to be sensitive to his kids' complicated feelings-if instafamily doesn't feel right to them, you can't force it. [/quote]
