Blended Life EP. 130: Dealing With High Conflict People In Your Blended Family

Dealing With High Conflict People In Your Blended Family is a very normal and real part of the experience.  There's high conflict bio parents, high conflict step parents, high conflict children, high conflict step children, even high conflict significant others and in-laws.  The truth is there are many reasons people default to conflict when overcome with big feelings, faced with challenges or maneuvering obstacles that get in the way of their comfort zone.  This can make peace seem impossible.  On this episode of Blended Life we discuss all things high conflict including what makes someone seem that way, how to respond to it, and how you can help yourself not become or take on part of their drama.  Enjoy!becomingheardnow@gmail.comBlended Family Life and Health Coaching.

A blended family is such an important topic because it’s dealing with so many lives, not just that of you and your spouse. You have your kids and your spouses kids of course, but you also have the other sets of parents to contend with (if there is shared custody). With so many cooks in the kitchen, it can make sanity hard to come by on some days. We can lose our way in the midst of chaos, jealousy, insecurity, frustration, anger, confusion, miscommunication, and power struggles. This podcast is dedicated to lessons my husband and I have learned from previously being married, divorced, parenting, co-parenting, step-parenting, blending a family, re-marrying, surviving daddy issues (me not him lol), going through years of therapy (again, me not him ha), having a relationship with God, listening to and absorbing wisdom from others, and having some of the best friends anyone could hope for! It is our hope that this offers all who take the time to read what we have to say, a perspective that makes for consideration or just some good-old-fashioned food-for-thought. If we can save one person, or couple, from any of our many mistakes, it would mean more than any treasure ever could.
