Over the months, many of you have written me about your concerns as women with stepchildren. I'd like to list and address the top ten — so I need your help. What's on your list of top concerns? Here are some ideas from all of you so far (not in any order)...

Top Concerns of Women with Stepchildren...
-My stepkids don't like me
-I don't like my stepkids
-My stepkids and my kids don't get along (or, what can I do to make life with stepsiblings easier for my kids?)
-I feel like an Outsider in my own home/ I feel less than an equal partner with my spouse/partner (my partner puts his kids first and our marriage last)
-Stepfamily tensions are taking over my life/my marriage
-I feel jealous of my stepkids/my husband's ex
-Finances (child support, husband paying above and beyond child support, not enough money, etc.)

What are your top concerns?
