Answer to Question 1

In the typical stepfamily, there is very little loyalty, bonding, and cohesion among merging families. This is a much more fragile situation than in a nuclear situation, which may or may not improve over time. Cohesion and loyalty are generally much stronger through the family life cycle in a nuclear family, usually transcending traumas.

Answer to Question 2

D
