Why Do Stepdads Need A Website?

It’s one of the most challenging roles around, and it’s a job that isn’t clearly defined. There are no standard operating procedures for stepfathers – leaving the majority of us to cross our fingers and hope we get it right.

And if that weren’t reason enough, studies show nearly 65% of all second marriages involve children. Still, tragically almost 70% of these marriages will end in divorce, often as a result of the added pressures stepfamilies face.

Support for Stepdads is like “marriage insurance” – giving you informative content, tools, unique insights, and support that help you overcome the challenges of the blended family.

Who I Am

I’m Gerardo Campbell, a stepfather veteran of 16+ years. In 1995, I married and became the stepfather to my wife’s two children, ages 10 and 14 at the time. Back in 1995, there were little, if any, resources, information, or coaching available for stepfathers.

I became a stepfather equipped with the very best intentions combined with my perceptions, expectations, and very little outside preparation.

Reflecting, I understand why our marriage ended in divorce. Through this website, I want to share with you my experience, my lessons learned and the lessons learned from others. It is possible to be a successful stepfather.
