I am doing a little research and I hope you will help me.

I created a survey about your experiences as a member of a blended family.

In my life, I’ve had a lot of experience as a member of blended families. In fact, I’ve had one step mother and two fathers; I have been a step sister to two step brothers, then again to two other step siblings years later; I have been a step-grandchild and my two children have a blend of grandparents and step-grandparents.

My father is the product of a divorced home; my ex husband is the product of a divorced home. My children have a step mother; my step children have a set of step siblings from their mother’s remarriage.

Step families and blends have been such a big part of my life that I feel I can speak as an authority on the subject. And in my experience, maintaining a happy cohesive marriage within a blended family structure is one of the most challenging things two people can do. Blending  two families to create a new entity can be as easy as mixing oil and water. Often, the marriages end and the blended family falls to pieces. 

I’m trying to figure you why some work and others do not. I want to know what happens to a marriage and a home when two adults who start out in love join lives that include people from their pasts.

I’m on a mission. I hope you will help.
