Stepfamily

I went to http://www.stepfamilies.org/statistics.htual
Most children today live in step relationships. Divorced families have lots of problem in
Invisibility, for exemplas social tension or social inequality between real and step and then children have to spend more time with their parent but the parent are always concern about everything so they can’t if they want. They may meet with an expected difficulty.
Bodily injury soon heals, but emotional injury takes longer.

In my opinion, nowadays ‘divorce’ and ‘re-married’ these are words we can hear and we come into contact with many of those things at the circumference easily there are several reasons for divorce that a child thinks that they can solve everything in love or pregnancy, and get what they desired, and then their marriage had the blessing of everybody, in spite of dissimilarity in character and sex or economic reason. Most children get damage by divorce, re-marriage and emotional conflict of new family. They feel out of place there. and mistrust. Nevertheless It’s hard to give up the quality of life for the parent.
