Being a Stepmum Makes You Mental, Pts 1, 2, & 3
La Belle Mere, a self-described “sprogless Brit stepmum blogger” who likes her “fags and adult bevvies” (I’m paraphrasing here) has written a three part series about why women with stepchildren sometimes feel inadequate, unhinged, and frankly insane.
She quotes extensively from Stepmonster in all three of the posts, bringing the research in my book to life, rendering my stats and stories immediate and real–all of which makes me feel a little less mental myself.

Thanks for the shout out Wednesday!
I’m glad that my insensitively and politically incorrectly titled series “Being a Step-mum makes you mental” was something you enjoyed reading!!
I LOVED your book and will be shamelessly shoving it at step-mothers everywhere!!
