Losing a parent young changes everything, especially when it comes to family milestones. One teen found comfort in her late mom’s family for big moments, even though her stepmom hoped to fill that role. While her dad and stepmom wanted her to let her stepmom in, she felt closer to her grandma and aunt—just as her mom had wished. Now, as she heads to college, she’s torn between honoring her late mom’s memory and her stepmom’s feelings. How do you think blended families can find balance when it comes to emotional bonds and big life events? #Relationships #FamilyDynamics #BlendedFamilies
