What are some causes for failed blended families?

Answer by  Treens (30)

Children from a previous relationship must be considered when deciding to marry. Children want to know that their parents love them more than anything or anyone else. When a new spouse is brought into the family, children may feel that they are losing the love of their parent.

There are as many causes as there are blended families. Unrealistic expectations are a cause of many blended families distress. Life will never be like the Brady Bunch, expect problems. Another major obstacle is different parenting styles. If one parent is much more lenient than the other conflict is inevitable. Problems may be avoided by setting standards before blending families.

Some of the causes of failure could be traced to low self esteem where some people feel inferior and this causes a lot of tension and makes it difficult to solve even slight disputes.To have a good blend, there should be a clear understanding of the equality of every member.
