The beginning of a life changing journey ~2024
I remember, years ago now, when I needed advice; more specifically advice to an unorthodox situation. Being a young parent you need all the help you can get but I couldn't find it anywhere.😕
To begin, I will give y'all a little background. I am a step-parent to a beautiful and bright girl, we will call her Star ⭐️. Star ⭐️ is not my own nor my partner's. (This is where things can get dicey, try to keep up with me) My wife was in a committed relationship with a woman who got pregnant. They raised the child together for about a year before splitting up but that didn't stop my wife from having a relationship with Star ⭐️. Star ⭐️ also has her father in her life. Although, at the beginning, her father wasn’t fully prepared for the challenges of parenthood, with encouragement from his family, he began to find his place.
Co-parenting is hard between two people but we are 6 parents all together. There are the three parents [Mom, Mama, and Daddy] and the other three are their spouses.
So now let's go back to the top. I was feeling lost, frustrated, and all together overwhelmed. Where can I get information? Well, there are blogs and books but all of them are about co-parenting between two women, two men or a man and a woman. I found little to nothing on a three co-parent relationship.
This might sound silly but I felt like this was my calling in this world; to help those with my experiences. Here's to hoping this reaches someone in need.
Welcome... You're not alone anymore🫶🏽
