Just a reminder about our meeting tonight at BookPeople here in Austin, Texas. 7:30 p.m., third floor meeting room.
Some of the stuff we'd like to cover….
Help for understanding and working through the conflict
- What’s one of the biggest hurdles to getting along? (It’s not what you think!)
- What should you do if the mom or stepmom isn’t willing to improve your relationship or is actively undermining you?
- Are there any negative emotions that affect only one side?
- What might you be afraid of losing if the two of you actually start to get along?
Changes you can look forward to making—with help!
- Why should you sometimes work around the ex-husband/husband in trying to create a sense of partnership?
- What’s something easy you can do today to set positive changes in motion?
- How did we go from barely being able to speak to each other, to becoming close friends. How long did it take? What exactly did we do to get here?
Positive effects you’ll see in your life
- Why will the children be opposed to some of the surprising benefits of creating a new, extended family?
- Why is creating a partnership between the two women like living in a small village?
* - What opportunities are lost if you simply try to avoid each other and accept the adversarial status quo? How will you change your child or stepchild’s life if you learn how to work together with the other woman?
Hope to see you there!
If you can't make it, we're exploring the idea of offering up the same support through teleclasses. If you're interested, drop us a line!
