While moms are encouraged to keep it real about the challenges that come with motherhood, stepmoms are judged for doing the same. When I couldn't find the type of stepmom support I was looking for, I decided to create it. 

Stepmoms often feel damned if they do and damned if they don't. Go all in, and you're overstepping. Keep your distance, and you resent the kids from being around. You're supposed to love your stepkids like they're your own, but don't overstep. Treat them like they're your kids, but don't discipline them. The double standards, unrealistic expectations and mixed messages leave stepmoms feeling overwhelmed, confused and like they don't know their place.
