Blending Families Resources
Emily Bouchard
Blended families are difficult at best and purely “hell-on-earth” at their worst. The logistics of trying to coordinate family schedules with visitation and then finding the time to just be together as a couple without feeling guilty over the entire situation can strain most relationships to the breaking point.
No Save Your Marriage Resource web site would be complete without some resources for blended families. Emily Bouchard is a personal friend of mine and she is a blended family specialist and therapist. She has written several e-books and has a newsletter dedicated to resourcing blended families. Her web site offers several solutions for blended families trying to chart the rough waters of their very difficult circumstances. Here are two of her e-books and there are more on the blended families web site.
Here is Emily’s description of these offerings:
