The blended family

A blended family brings together people who have believed in the family enough to try to be happy again in this adventure. Noting that more and more women, men and children devote extraordinary energies to it, and how they face real difficulties at times, Marie-Christine Saint- Jacques and Claudine Parent offer a new edition of their book La famille recomposée. Referring to the various stages of the process of recomposition and the reactions of the different family members, they present strategies and tools that facilitate adaptation for all so that they can build strong marital and family ties while respecting those already in place. By providing a perspective from the children, couple, parents, in-laws and grandparents, they help to better define each other’s roles. They also accompany their comments with additional resources and multiple testimonies that show concretely the challenges, the necessary communication skills, but also the harmony at the heart of family recomposition, making their work an indispensable source of information and support.
