Press Release Summary: Remarriage for couples with adult children often represents an unexpected but welcome chance at a happy and loving relationship. Grace Gabe, M.D. and Jean Lipman-Blumen, Ph.D., in their best selling book, Step Wars provides practical and encouraging advice and strategies for parents and adult children alike.
Press Release Body: Why would mature, independent, married adult children have a negative reaction to their parent’s happy remarriage?” Experts believe of a traditional expectation that the marriage will be long and happy and the newly created blended family will share in the couple’s obvious warmth and contentedness. In the book, Step Wars: Overcoming the Perils and Making Peace in Adult Stepfamilies, Grace Gabe, M.D. and Jean Lipman-Blumen, Ph.D. explain that much of the pain in adult stepfamilies is due to excessively high expectations on the part of the older couple and with personal anecdotes and professional insight.
Blended-Families.com “Ask the Expert” series has invited Grace Gabe and Jean Lipman-Blumen for an interview on Tuesday, September 30, 9 pm EST. Dr. Gave and Prof. Lipman-Blumen will explain why the high expectation of loving acceptance can be dashed with the surprising negative reaction from their independent and mature children.
Dr. Grace Gabe is Board Certified in Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Her lifelong interest in psychological development led to researching and writing about couples who reunite after many years of separation, which became a cover story for Psychology Today and was featured on national TV. Dr. Jean Lipman-Blumen holds the Thornton F. Bradshaw Chair in Public Policy and also serves as Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management, Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA.
