I Chose This Life

When the relationship with your co-parent ended in infidelity, should you tell your kid(s)? Here’s how Jon and I handled it.

Pregnant again.. another woman again. This is God’s redemption story over my life. He sent us Gabriella AKA Gabi, or “God’s strength.” Lord knew I’d need it.

Stepmomming has been one of the most difficult and amazing things I have ever done. It’s been a wild ride full of highs and lows. Take a listen on my decision to become a step mom to three beautiful (sometimes not-so-fun) girls.

Kathleen is my co-mom and step/bonus mom to our son Xander. Our beginning was rough. Unforgivable rough. Join us as we share our journey in hurting each other and meeting on a road to forgiveness.

It’s tempting to spill all the gruesome details about our co-parents. Unfortunately, this does more harm than good. Today we talk about why it’s important to be selective in our choices of who we speak to about co-parenting issues and what we say.

I get asked this question all the time: How did you do it? What they’re asking about is how in the world I came to forgive Jon & Kathleen. How did I push past my threshold of pain and pride to not only co-parent, but build a living relationship with each of them? Hope this helps!

This is our beginning and who we are. More importantly, it’s how we became a stepfamily. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful redemption God promises. My ex/ baby daddy, Jonathan, and I talk about our relationship, our failures, and reaching peace as co-parents as we moved on with our lives.
