Q: "My parents have been divorced for many years and now my Mom is getting remarried. I already had to get used to a new Stepmom when Dad got married, and now I have to deal with a new Stepdad too. Things get so confusing. When are all these changes going to stop? Is it wrong to want my parents to get back together again?" (Rachel, age 14)

A: Hey Rachel, it’s very hard to have so many changes going on in your life. Just when you have gotten used to one thing, another change is happening. Well, no one says you have to like everybody. I’m sure you dream of your parents getting back together because then everything would be as it was and you wouldn’t have to get used to all of these new people. It sounds though like you did get used to your new Stepmom, so give your new Stepdad a chance; maybe you’ll get used to him and he can turn out to be OK to be with.
