I didn't grow up dreaming of being a stepmother, but I fell in love with someone who was already married and had children. What now? Will I become a witch? Will I feed the children poisoned apples or leave them to fend for themselves in a forest with no food and no way back?
Being a stepmother happened in my life and when I realized that I needed to reinvent the narrative of witch stereotypes, I found myself lonely and lost. What is my role? If I ask my stepson to wash the dishes, will I be turning into Cinderella's slave-owning stepmother? How do I deal with all of this?
On this complicated path (and full of prejudices) I found Positive Discipline - an educational philosophy that gave me the opportunity to raise children who were not born in my womb with respect, kindness and affection.
And after a journey of experiences and studies, I share with you in this book what worked best here at home with my stepchildren. I hope it is beneficial for you, dear stepmother, and that you can find support to build your bonds, respecting yourself and everyone around you in your process.
