If parenting problems persist, they can undermine a marital relationship, causing conflict. Blending a family is a challenge for all concerned. Both children and adults in this situation often feel resentful, frightened and confused. There are few role models for families to follow when they are blending together. This joining may leave families wondering what is wrong with them, or why they lack an ideal blended family.
Communication is extremely important with blended families.
If left uncorrected, extended family issues may worsen, especially if the couple has children, which further complicates the extended family involvement. Both partners in an abusive relationship need support in dealing with the abusive cycles. Violence and abuse are never justified. No one ever deserves to be abused. No one ever makes someone else abuse them.
