The hardest part of my blended family right now are: 1) adult children not getting along making it difficult for me and my husband to have family gatherings, 2) adult children that still need our support, hindering me and husband from going forward, and 3) the stepdaughters do not consider me in any way. I am not their mom, thus, they do not consider me as such (i.e., I would not receive a happy mother's day message or card). Though it hurts some times, I have accepted it and move forward. They are grown at this point.
