Separating The Hurt From The Person: A Coming Out Story (Interview with Jessica Frew)

The Whole Stepfamily

One of the more difficult areas of growth in a stepfamily involves getting to a place where you become able to separate the hurt from the person who hurt you.

In other words? When emotions are high, and perceptions of betrayal, anger, sadness, grief, and loss are present, it can be really hard to see the human being underneath the pain you feel.

But the human is there. And seeing the human for the human is such a powerful and liberating place to work from.

This is one of the best interviews we’ve ever had on the show, for so many reasons that align with the vision and mission of Stepqueen.

In this incredible episode with special guest Jessica Frew, we discuss:

• Her lived experience as a divorced biological mother & remarried stepmom, with one “easy” coparenting dynamic, and one “extremely high conflict” coparenting dynamic.
• The journey of marrying a man who later came out as gay
• The experience of living through infidelity “even though” her husband was gay
• Why we grieve the end of a relationship, even when we know it is the best (and only) decision
• How Jessica and her second husband have created a powerful relationship with Jessica’s ex-husband, and have become an inspiration for blended families everywhere!
• The secret to coparenting with someone who is extremely high-conflict

And so, so much more!
