When we divorced, we discussed how we wanted our divorce to look for ourselves and for our daughter. We have been able to stick to that plan.\xa0I have been remarried now for 6 years and have 2 step kids.\xa0My husband (Matt) and Steve get along as well.\xa0We do birthdays, family dinners, holidays, and vacations together.\xa0They even take our girls out on double dates.\xa0It is such a blessing.\xa0Matt's ex-wife does not like us, despite our efforts to have a good relationship with her.\xa0We have learned to set firm boundaries in order to protect ourselves and our children.\xa0I have learned so much about what it really means to be a stepmom.\xa0I have learned to let go of control to not take offense when mud is slung my way.\xa0It is a hard roll to find your place in because it is one you never expect to hold.\xa0Together my husband, ex-husband, and I are sharing our stories of love, marriage, coming out, infidelity, divorce, and co-parenting in our Podcast Husband in Law.\xa0We are doing this to help individuals view themselves and others in a new light so that they can see not only their own self-worth but also the worth of others.\xa0We are changing how people view themselves and others to create more understanding and stronger relationships.\xa0\nResources & Links:\nConnect with Jessica\nJessica on Instagram\n Podcast Husband in Law\xa0\nJessica on Facebook\n The Ultimate Divorce Survival Guide\nShould I Stay or Should I Go Facebook Group\nLearn more about your ad choices.
