Ron: What if your stepdaughter is “the other woman”?

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: Her social media post was clear. “We are divorcing because he’s more committed to his daughter than our marriage. He can keep his ‘little wife,’ but I’m gone.” Okay, the other woman, so to speak, in this situation was a child. But the impact, the same as an affair.

Now, we don’t know all the details, but typically when a parent favors their child over their spouse they are either overly responsible for their child’s emotional wellbeing, afraid to trust again, or a little of both. If that’s you, I hope you can see that loving your spouse is not abandonment of your child. Love them both but get your allegiance straight. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
