No Matter What, the Most Important Things are the Children

I think this should be obvious to you, yet I understand that it is easy to forget what is most important when you are feeling the strong emotions you may be feeling. I came across a Website called The Stepfamily Letter Project, http://stepfamilyletterproject.wordpress.com. The site includes letters from different types of family members to other family members. The caption reads: “Blended Families Share Their Challenges, Joys, and Advice.” The letters are full of pain and wit. Yet, they illustrate how intensely one’s actions effect other people, how devastating selfishness and thoughtlessness is, and how uplifting is grace and understanding. If you look at this site, you may read letters from people experiencing similar frustrations and joys as you. I think that reading these honest writings helps to put things into perspective.
