Oh bugger!!!!!!

On step parenting please...

[myturn]

it's so hard! I went looking for some too - for my DSD.....

let me think about it can come back here....

Oh... just thought of one....

There's a step parenting organisation in victoria that may have some info Stepfamilies Australia

also there might be some resources at a shop called Peoplemaking - which has a website... or Open Leaves - both in Melbourne, but they have an online catalogue you can search by topic, which may give you a few more ideas.

I find the most important thing is that I make a conscious decision about how I am going to act around DSD10, and I make sure that I am the adult and role model what I want her to be like... in the hope that she will be able to learn from that....

having said that - we get on pretty well and her mother is a loon (yep.. that's a technical word,... lol) no really - she does have a diagnosed personality disorder, so we need to be available to DSD without making judgements and putting mum down... it's hard sometimes!!!

Was there anything in particular you were finding difficult???

If I think of anything else I'll get back to you....
