Key Takeaways:
Divorce is a death for everyone; even if the parents are not sad the marriage ended, everyone grieves.
The differences in the way children and adults grieve.
The number one mistake stepparents make is that they try and step into a parenting role that holds parental authority.
Children do not want to replace their parent with a new authority – most of the time, this causes the most tension in a household even if the child likes the stepparent.
