Workshop for Stepmothers and Repartnered Couples with Children/Adult Children

Come learn the issues--and how to deal with them--with others who have been there!
Save the date–I will be co-conducting a workshop with Dr. Rachelle Katz (author of The Happy Stepmother) on Saturday March 3 and the Open Center of New York City. Women with stepchildren of any age and their partners are welcome. So are therapists and other professionals who work with repartnered couples with children, or want to learn more about stepfamily dynamics and the issues remarrieds with children of any age face.

Childless and Child Free Women with Stepchildren–What are the Issues? And Kim Cottrell asks, “Which term shall we use?”
Have a listen, post a comment
Here’s a link to a radio interview I recently did with stepfamily therapist Mary Kelly-Williams, M.A. of marriedwithbaggage.com on her Blog Talk Radio show. We discussed childless and childfree women with stepchildren, their particular issues and challenges. Hope you will have a listen! Separately, blogger Kim Cottrell wonders “What to call us? Childfree sounds egocentric, childless sounds deprived.” What do you think? Do we need a new term?
