If you are taking on stepchildren, then that likely means you are taking on children of divorce. It may even mean taking on children who barely see the other parent any more, or not at all, as mandated by the courts. Research has found a correlation between parental separation in teens and depression later in life. Ultimately, you may be inheriting children who have trauma, and navigating this very sensitive situation can be difficult. It may bring even more complications than taking on children who come from a previously single parent, or who at least had a peaceful divorce. Going to therapy as a family can help with this transition, and help you understand your stepchildren’s trauma.
