Is This Woman Wicked?!

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Please check out my newest post for Psychology Today about the Astor trial.
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/stepmonster/200910/is-woman-wicked
Phillip Marshall has accused his stepmother, Charlene Marshall, of conniving, scheming, and pulling the strings. Basically, Phillip says, his Dad isn’t guilty–his stepmom is. Have a look–and leave a comment!

Is Stepmom to Blame? Competition over money can make stepfamily life combustible.

“Her insights are genuine, valuable, and well-presented, and should be taken to heart by all step- and blended-family parents and experts.”
—Rosalind Sedacca, CCT, The Voice of Child-Centered Divorce
“This book made me feel whole again.”
—Julie, http://www.stepchicks.ning
“I LOVE it. She’s writing about you, me, just about everyone of us in Stepland.”

“I swear this woman knows all of us—and has listened to every one of our stories. She is on the side of stepmothers and is very good at showing how we cope with the world we are in.”

“I don’t want to wait for the May pub. date!”

“I only wish I’d found this book 10 years ago. She hits home on SO MANY LEVELS. My recommendation is that ANY and EVERY stepmom should read this. And this should also be required when couples are going for a marriage license. ‘Does he have kids from a previous marriage? Then read the book first. Then we’ll give you a marriage license.’”

“Wednesday Martin is an incredible author and blogger who has brought a seriousness and understanding to the subject of stepmothering that is rarely found.”
—Patti Deville, The Step Project
“Absolutely fantastic—will touch a nerve with every single stepmom out there. A wonderful, intelligent, insightful book that will help stepmothers breathe a sigh of relief that they have been heard…As a therapist who works with stepfamilies, and an educator of therapists, I highly recommend this book to all as a very valuable resource.”
—Five-Star Review, Susan Davis Swanson, Director, The Stepfamily Center, Beverly Hills, CA
