Joanne Richard wrote this article about stepchildren and adult stepchildren in loyalty binds and what a stepmother "should" do to improve the situation. My answer was...nothing! Joanne also quotes my colleague and good friend Dr. Rachelle Katz, author of The Happy Stepmother, one of the only reasearch-based books out there for stepmothers other than my own. Hope you will have a read...and leave a comment.
