Now that scenario might be something you've heard about or something you can personally relate to. What they get back is a question mark about their worth. What that child wants is a parental blessing. Now imagine a child who spends much of their childhood or adulthood for that matter putting a little of themselves into their parent hoping to get back a word of encouragement or an, “I am proud of you,” but they seldom or never get something back.

What are you feeling right about that moment? Angry. Have you ever put money into a vending machine and nothing came out? Maybe you tried again and again it devoured your money without giving anything back. If you're interested in that digital pass just go to the show notes and we’ll let you know how you can get ahold of that. This week is the Summit on Stepfamily Ministry and if you're not going to be able to join us in Chesapeake, Virginia, for that I want you to know that the All-Access Digital pass is available. This podcast brings together timeless wisdom, practical help and hope to blended families, and those who love them.īefore we jump into our conversation with John Trent and Kari Stageberg, I wanted to remind you that we just released the 10th anniversary edition of my video curriculum The Smart Stepfamily. Ron: From the FamilyLife Podcast Network this is FamilyLife Blended®. I knew right then, “Okay it's two in the morning I've just been brought home by the police and she still loves me.” It's like something broke inside me. I couldn't take it anymore and I remember saying, “Mom, I guess this means you don't love us anymore.” I'll never forget she sits up and she goes, “This has nothing to do with love! I will always love you, but I am tremendously disappointed in you!” John: I remember sitting there for a long time, which for me was probably a minute or two, with just silence.
