		<description>BWAC, thanks for drawing attention to this very common type of family! One side of my blended family (my ex, myself, his new wife and my new husband), although we still have issues, works. It works because although we still have issues; which is inevitable when you have 2 sets of parents, children and obviously different ways of doing things, we COMMUNICATE, openly and honestly. But, the other side (my husband, his ex, myself and her new husband) is a complete disaster. I have made it a point over the last several years to delve deep into this topic [blended families] in order to help heal. As a BFC (Blended Family Counselor pending certification), I&#039;ve talked to and worked with many blended families and have realized that we face many of the same challenges. It&#039;s a difficult world to navigate through; trying to establish boundaries and limits for ex-spouses, trying to integrate both sets of children into your household and trying to maintain your marriage simultaneously...whew! Please visit my blog, www.blendingin.wordpress.com, for a more in depth understanding of my own blended family experiences as well as my candid views on the issues that we face.</description>
