Expect resistance and difficulties in helping the children adjust to a new mate or the mate's children. New relationships, blended families, and remarriages are among the most difficult aspects of the divorce process. Seek support groups, friendships, and counseling. Single parents need all the help they can get. Support from clergy, friends, relatives and groups such as Parents Without Partners can help you and your children adjust to the travails of separation and divorce.
Kids have inherent loyalty conflicts, it's unavoidable.
