The Evil Stepmother Speaks-Are You An Approval Addict?

If you weren't an approval addict before, once you become a stepmom you can easily become one. As stepmoms, we are under scrutiny and pressure 24/7.  At least, it feels that way.  But, what if you crave approval?  Or, do you find yourself craving approval once you became a stepmom?  Do you ever find yourself…

• Scrutinizing everything you said and did after a social function, finding all kinds of ways you could have done it or said it differently.
• Dressing mostly to make an impact on the people around you without a thought about what you like to wear.
• Apologizing when your house is dirty.
• Changing the things you do and say depending on who you’re with.
• Keeping your opinions to yourself when they’re not the same as the opinions of other people.

Well, you may have an addiction to approval.
