Blended families are really difficult and are easy to give up on. A very interesting thing that I've learned while we have been discussing blended families this week in class is, give it time. Give a blended family at least 2 years to get better, or to be able to see success.
People need to understand that blended families are never easy and require a lot of attention and TLC. You're not the odd one out if your family is struggling and it is blended, families are difficult already and then try putting two together in a cohesive way, it is difficult.
Be aware, if there is one very important thing besides time that I've learned about blended families it would be awareness. Help things along by being aware of everyone and trying to cater and fix people issues in the home or with eachother. Again, it is difficult, but with time and awareness it can be positive.
