Moms and Step-moms: Can’t we all just get along?

One of the most challenging relationships is between a mom and step-mom. The dynamic, the emotions and thoughts involved with the situation can be extremely volatile. Let’s see if we can’t curb that craziness a little.

Heal yourself

You reach out in search of comfort. You look to him, wanting his arms to wrap you in safety, but they’re unable to reach you. You listen for his words to ease the pain, but he’s unable to speak. You’re alone. Alone with your emotions, alone with your thoughts, alone with your sorrow.

Take comfort in yourself. Wrap your arms around you. Hold yourself. Cry to yourself. Tell yourself all the comforting words you long to hear. And then heal yourself.
