Ms. Grünewald, who sits in your practice?
This is the stepmom who often bakes the bonus kid’s brownies and gets no credit for it. The father who puts a lot of energy into his first family and is drained. The mother who thinks her stepmother is too meddlesome and in competition with her. And feels devalued by it. In general, I have couples who have had a breakup and now want to do better.
