LOVING STEPMOTHERS/ FRIENDS REUNITED or FACEBOOK CHANGED MY LIFE

Hello there

I'm looking for anyone who'd be willing to talk ANONYMOUSLY about what happens to step-parents when a relationship breaks down. The media is always focusing on the problems in stepfamily dynamics - I want to highlight the fact that step-parents who bring their step children up in a loving, commited way can be left without any rights should the marriage run into difficulty. I'm ideally looking for a stepmum who has remained in an unhappy relationship for fear of losing contact with her stepkids.

This feature is for YOU magazine and would involve a phone chat with me. If anyone can help with this in the strictest confidence, please contact me on
tammycohen63@btinterent.com

I'm also looking for anyone who has been reunited with someone from their past, through a social networking website like Friends Reunited or Facebook, and who has an interesting story to tell. This feature is for a commissioned book I'm writing, and would again involve a phone interview with me. Once again my email address is tammycohen63@btinternet.com

Thanks so much to you all for reading this!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
