HELL...P, I'M A STEPMOTHER
is Sonja's best selling book that explores the challenges of stepparenting. Sonja shares aspects of her own stepmothering journey, talks about the common and predictable stresses faced by stepfamilies in general and provides helpful hints on how to effectively deal with these. Readers will be inspired by Sonja's candid sharing of the challenges she encountered in raising her 2 stepsons as well as her exploration of the issues that emerged from bringing 2 biological children into the stepfamily mix. She addresses such subjects as unrealistic expectations, guilt, the reality of grief in step-situations, step dads’ realities, the children’s experience, the “other mother”, step-parenting the problem child, how to deal with stress and depression, the role of forgiveness and the steps the author has found useful to move towards freedom.
