Show Notes
In this episode of the Nacho Kids Podcast, Lori, co-founder of Nacho Kids, interviews stepmom Gabby Gast. Gabby has been blending for four years, has a stepson who is nine and two adopted kids from her first marriage, a ten-year-old daughter and an eight-year-old son. Eight months into her current relationship, she was diagnosed with end-stage cystic fibrosis and had to have a lung transplant. The hardest part of the blend for her is how bio mom's toxicity affects stepson's relationships with her and her husband.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Loyalty binds between kids and bio parent
- Toxic bio mom
- Having different parenting styles
- Resentment in the blend
- A reset in the blend
