Where to Bio Dads go for Support?

[Scott]

Hi guys... I'm brand new here and hoping someone can point me to the best forum (or other resource) to go to given my situation.

The short version: I'm a divorced single dad with 2 kids. I have a girlfriend of 3 years and we're working on blended family topics before we get formally engaged. I'm just getting frustrated because all the meetings, the magazines, the articles, are focused on the step-mom or the step-dad. Believe me, I very much get that the new family member has the most and biggest adjustments to make, but I can't seem to find any support for myself, the bio-dad in the equation. I have loads of fears and worries about entering a blended family, but am having a hard time finding books or articles or... well... anything that isn't telling the bio-parent they have to be more supportive if their partner taking on the step-parenting role.

Anyone know of a place to start looking?

No clue, which is one reason I started the site. You can ask here, and we can try and help. I will have to look through, but I may have some e-mail discussion groups if you are interested that way.

That'd be appreciated, many thanks!

I'll keep digging though.

It's a rough thing to do. You really have to have a lot of patience and be able to let go of a bunch of feelings. I wish you luck though. I know I had the best step-dad in the world but there are a lot of families who never get it together.
