The divorce rate for second marriages is 60 to 67 percent. The primary driver, identified consistently across decades of research: stepchildren. Not a lack of love, not incompatibility, not communication failure in the abstract -- the specific pressures of raising someone else's children while trying to protect the relationship that brought you together in the first place. Blended and Broken is a direct, research-grounded guide for couples navigating exactly this: the stepchild who resists every attempt at connection, the ex-spouse who never fully leaves, the loyalty conflicts that put the biological parent perpetually between their children and their partner, the favoritism accusations, the discipline battles, and the slow erosion of a couple bond that neither person wanted to lose. It speaks to both partners simultaneously -- the stepparent who has been showing up for a family that did not ask for them, and the biological parent caught between the people they love -- with the specific tools, scripts, and frameworks that make the difference between a blended family that survives this and one that does not.
