How many times have you read an article that totally speaks to your stepmom struggles and got excited? You instantly feel the notion that the author understands your pain and you send the link to your man in hopes that he’ll get it too? The problem is your man has a tough time seeing things from your perspective because that article was for you, NOT HIM!
We want your Man to be just as invested in results as you are. There are so many tools out there for stepmoms, and now we’re pouring efforts into helping HIM cope with his HCBM, teaching HIM how to deal with dad guilt and much more. Visit www.VIPStepmom.com to join today!
