Good info but not for the faint of heart

Felt like I learned some things and but the overall tone was depressing and stressful. Basically as a stepparent you get a rough life was the message I took away...would have liked some more encouraging sections

Needed Perspective

The content was excellent! The narration was hard to listen to but the information helped compensate for the painful voice over

Educative and interesting.

loved it. Educative and interesting. Must read for step families or prospective step family. covered most areas of importance

Raw Honesty

I’m still in the divorce process, but this was a sobering book that gave me a lot to think about.

Wonderful book

This book is a must read for step families. There is so much to take into account that it is overwhelming. However, if you do the work, you stand a good chance.
The narrator was painful to listen to. I sped it up a bunch to get through some of it. It did feel better in the latter half of the book though. I determined that it was because the content was so good and his consistent voice managed to get out of the way a bit.
I recommend having a physical or e- book for this as well for review, highlights, and discussion.
