Stepfamilies In Australia - AIFS Conference Paper 1998 - Australian Institute Of
Unacknowledged change stepfamilies in Australia, paper by Steve Martin presented to 6th Australian Institute of Family Studies Conference 1998.
http://www.aifs.gov.au/institute/afrc6papers/martins.html

Extractions: This paper documents the experience of the Stepfamily Association of Vic in working with stepfamilies. It raises some questions which I trust you may find useful, whether your interest is in social policy, research, family practice, or if you are here because you are in a family. The main part of the paper explores issues relating to the lack of recognition and support many stepfamilies experience as part of everyday life. It argues that stepfamilies occupy an ambivalent position in society which is disempowering for them, and ignores the positive contribution they have to make in a changing society. The final part of the paper explores what the Stepfamily Association believes needs to happen for this picture to change. 1. Lack of recognition and support - an experience of ambivalence. When someone (with authority) describes the world and you are not in it, there is a moment of psychic disequilibrium, as if you looked into a mirror and saw nothing (Rich in Meemeduma, 1993:163)

Extractions: Recognizing the Signs of Child Abuse Injured child whose parents do not seek immediate medical care. Attempts to conceal child's injuries or vagueness about how injuries occurred. Child who always shows up at your house at meal time and asks for food or seems badly nourished. Unsupervised child out on the street at inappropriate times. Unusual behavior like aggressive, negative, or extremely passive and withdrawn; excessive fatigue. by Susan English and Thomas Wohlmut T he number of reported cases of child abuse has risen since 1976 from around 400,000 to almost 3 million. Statistics from 1995 indicate that about 52 percent of the victims suffered neglect, 25 percent suffered physical abuse, 13 percent sexual abuse, 5 percent emotional maltreatment, 3 percent medical neglect, and 14 percent other forms of maltreatment. Some children suffered more than one type of abuse. Very few studies have compared biological parent vs. stepparent child abuse. One 1989 study compared families in which a daughter had been sexually abused by a biological father or stepfather. The study confirmed that biological father abuser families showed much higher levels of drug and/or alcohol abuse, marital problems, and low income than did stepfather abuser families.

Extractions: Stepfamilies have been saddled with a less than flattering image. In classic fairy tales such as 'Cinderella' and 'Snow White', we have been presented with wicked stepmothers and unpleasant stepsisters. The stepfamilies that feature prominently in television soap operas are usually characterised by arguments, fist fights and family breakdown. Perhaps this is why, in North America, the term 'blended family' instead of 'stepfamily' is gaining currency. However, the reality facing stepfamilies isn't all doom and gloom nor is it clear cut. It is actually far more complex than these fictional characters suggest. 41% of all marriages are remarriages for one or both partners. Remarriage rates are twice as high for men as for women. Each year, 11% of lone parents marry or start a co-habiting relationship.

Extractions: Stepfamily Association of America This (real) stepfamily has six active co-parents living in three homes with five dependent kids . There are nine living and dead (and emotionally important) co-grandparents, and many bio and legal relatives. Only four of the six merging biofamilies are shown. The full three-generational stepfamily has 78 adults and children, with the potential for [(78 x 77) / 2] = 3,003 relationships! It will take well over five years for this web of people to stabilize after the last of the co-parent's re marriages.
