The ex being high conflict can have a direct impact on how well you’re able to connect with your stepkid. If your stepkid's other home is dysfunctional or abusive, then even their most basic interpretations of love, belonging, or family could be very different from yours. Maybe more different than you’d ever guess.
So don't blame yourself if you're struggling to connect with your stepkid... but do educate yourself on the impact of childhood abuse and trauma so you understand how those might manifest in your stepkid.
Most of all, make sure YOU'RE getting the support YOU need along the way. As always, we’ve gotta make sure we’re putting our own oxygen masks on first.
