Stepson helps divorced stepmom move in and moves in her. Divorce can be a tough time and even tougher for stepmothers. A stepmother who is going through a divorce might feel as though she has been tossed aside, like an unwanted piece of property. But what about a woman who has lost a child, or who has an abusive husband? The loss of a child or children can seem to shatter the mind. But if you want to move on after a divorce with your children, then you might want to give some consideration to letting stepmother move in with you. It’s not that she wants to move in, but it could very well be that she needs space to heal herself, and to deal with the pain of losing a child or two.
If you think this is the right thing for your stepmother, then you should make an appointment with her family law attorney. You need to find out exactly what you are entitled to as a stepmother; ask yourself if you are hurting for the loss of your child, and if so ask if it is better to let Stepmother move in and take full custody of your child or children. Sometimes it is better to move with your stepmother than it is to stay in the same room with your ex, especially if she has a history of violence towards you or other children. There have been many cases where violent husbands drag their wives into abusive situations in order to hurt them for their perceived “betrayal.”
Divorced Stepmother moved in with me because I let her know that she was hurting and needed time to heal. She is hurting now, and trying to move on with her life while her ex tries to get custody of her children is not fair to her. I helped her apply for custody of her son, and I am going to help her move in as soon as possible. This way, she will have time to heal, and I will be there to help her through this new experience. It has been both of our best decisions, and we both feel good about this outcome.
