The new arrangement is strange — holidays split, schedules color-coded, a family that looks different than the picture on the mantel. But you're still here, and something new is taking shape.

What started with the new normal just got more complicated. Now you need to communicate your needs to both parents when their needs are consuming all the oxygen — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
