Hi my name is Mechelle and I am a second wife. Being a second wife can be a blessing on one hand and on the other had filled with lots of challenges. After being singled for over 10 years, 2 years ago I married my life long love. I had to sit back and re-exam and re-adjust my life accordingly. I must admit one of my biggest challenges was going from being a strong independent woman to a strong co-dependent wife. I also,went from being a single mother of two wonderful adult children to a step parent of three children (2 adult, 1 minor). Yes, my husband has three children from his prior relationship. After his divorce not only did he divorce his wife his children divorced him.
These types of things has yet been discussed amongst people who have gone through divorce as a collective community. My husband and I have discussed amongst ourselves and we have tried to figure it out ourselves both being a second wife and husband and realizing there is no easy step by step guide to help a people like us get through something such as these. So, we both decided to start a blog so that we can talk about the ups and downs as a second wife or husband. Discuss the aftermath of divorce, parenting and co-parenting, and dealing with blended families A place where men and speak freely about their feelings on the subject of child support and find healing through the adverse time.
We are Second Wives and Xs, a support group with a positive connotation. We are a community of men and women who have been hurt, betrayed, and broken at one point in our lives. But the best part is, we are now in a better circumstance with better people in our lives. All because we learned from our mistakes, from our pain, from our fears and doubts. Just like you, we were once like fragile birds with broken wings. With Second Wives and Xs as a strong ally, we are now eagles soaring above adversity.
Come on, let’s talk about it all. Life, love, pain, the ups, and down. Lets equip each other with the necessary tools to succeed the second time around.
