044: Interview With Bobbi Wilcox ~ Blended Families United

In this episode of the Nacho Kids Podcast, Lori, co-founder of Nacho Kids, interviews Bobbi Wilcox - founder of Blended Families United and author of “Reconciled - A Story of Divorce, redemption, and A Blended Family United”.  Bobbi is not a stepmom but has witnessed blending through her husband being a stepdad to her children. Bobbi and her husband also have a child together. Bobbi dealt with some issues with her bio kids and her ex-husband, who she refers to as her “wasband”, when he and his new partner spoke negatively about her and downplayed her as a mom. Needless to say, this greatly impacted her kids. Over time, Bobbi and her “wasband” were able to reconcile and have a good co-parenting relationship. Bobbi’s story is a very unique one and we are thankful for her sharing her story with us and our listeners. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The bio kids stop coming for visitation
• The ex speaking negatively about the other bio parent
• Reconciling with the ex and mending the co-parenting relationship
• Bobbi’s unique definition of a blended family
• Hurt that comes from a blend not working
