    “Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . . Between the two opposing myths lies reality. The recognition of reality is, I believe, the most important step toward the building of a successful second family.”
    —Claire Berman (20th century)

    “Sometimes the best way to keep peace in the family is to keep the members of the family apart for awhile.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
