Why Do Stepdads Need A Website?
It’s one of the most challenging roles around, and it’s a job that isn’t clearly defined. There are no standard operating procedures for stepfathers – leaving the majority of us to cross our fingers and hope we get it right.
And if that weren’t reason enough, studies show nearly 65% of all second marriages involve children. Still, tragically almost 70% of these marriages will end in divorce, often as a result of the added pressures stepfamilies face.
Support for Stepdads is like “marriage insurance” – giving you informative content, tools, unique insights, and support that help you overcome the challenges of the blended family.
Who I Am
I’m Gerardo Campbell, a stepfather veteran of 16+ years. In 1995, I married and became the stepfather to my wife’s two c
hildren, ages 10 and 14 at the time. Back in 1995, there were little, if any, resources, information, or coaching available for stepfathers.
I became a stepfather equipped with the very best intentions combined with my perceptions, expectations, and very little outside preparation.
Reflecting, I understand why our marriage ended in divorce. Through this website, I want to share with you my experience, my lessons learned and the lessons learned from others. It is possible to be a successful stepfather.
