I learned about you a few years ago, probably during one of the hardest years of my life. Newly married with a stepdaughter and a very complex bio-mother situation. I spent that year holed up in my room reading books and listening to podcasts about stepparenting. I have come a long way since then and can see the light now. Your approach has been instrumental in that transition. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” ~ JJ
