Writing your own Script
Stepfamily Articles - Stepfamily Articles
Writing your own scriptNo one has managed to write a 'script' for stepfamily life; as yet, there are no agreed upon standards and procedures that can be consulted. In some respects this places stepfamilies at a disadvantage. We typically like to have a reasonably clear idea of what we should do and how we might do it. A couple with no children will have preconceived notions regarding courtship, engagement, and marriage, as will their families and friends and society at large. This script does not have to be adhered to rigidly; there is plenty of room for improvisation, but the couple is likely to retain a general understanding of how their life together will unfold. Members of stepfamilies do not have the benefit of such guidelines. What is a stepfamily suppose to look like, and how is it supposed to function? Is it a unit headed by a biological parent and stepparent together or is the stepparent more peripheral? Will old customs and habits be preserved or should they be replaced by new ones in order to strengthen the stepfamily's identity.
