Several months into their relationship she moved in with him, into the old family home. With the Ex often popping by because she 'had a right to see the children' Francesca became increasingly anxious, to the point where she was really not coping with life and didn't feel psychologically safe in her own home. Francesca sought help from Stepmum Space founder and coach Katie South and worked with Katie both individually and with her partner. Happily Francesca is now in a much better place with more control over her life and her relationship with her partner and her Stepdaughters is flourishing.
