Gotta love Jada Pinkett Smith- Nobody could have said the below as she had. I grew up in a blended family. I married into a blended a family and I love my stepdaughter as my own. I honestly don't think that my husband would be as close to his daughter as he is if I hadn't pushed so bad for us to be a family. I deal more with my step daughter's mother than he does. We may not always like each other but we do have a mutual respect for one another. Kudos to you Jada- Your words are awesome. Below is what Jada thinks about her blended family
Blended families are NEVER easy, but here's why I don't have a lot of sympathy for your situation because... we CHOOSE them. When I marr...ied Will, I knew Trey was part of the package...Period! If I didn't want that...I needed to marry someone else. Then I learned if I am going to love Trey...I had to learn to love the most important person in the world to him...his mother. And the two of us may not have always LIKED each other... but we have learned to LOVE each other.
I can't support any actions that keep a man from his children of a previous marriage. These are the situations that separate the women from the girls. Your behavior is that of an insecure child who needs to recognize her own weaknesses that MUST be strengthened to take on the task at hand. We can't say we love our man and then come in between him and his children. THAT'S selfishness...NOT love. WOMAN UP... I've been there...I know. My blended family made me a giant… Taught me so much about love, commitment and it has been the biggest ego death to date. It's time you let your blended family make you the giant you truly are.
