By Mental-Health--And- | October 6, 2026

Lynne Babbitt has personal experience as a step-family child and parent. As a licensed counselor and life coach, she used her experience and gained more insights by working with other step families who needed to find peace for their lives. Lynne discusses the following considerations for step-parents: the decision-maker and advice-giver roles, expectations, boundaries, and Biblical support.

Lynne’s journey through widowhood, divorce, single parenting, and stepfamilies now fuels a fabulous, godly marriage—and a passion to help other individuals and relationships thrive.
