REWIND BACK TO 2009: Meet the step-parents and their step families. Welcome to the turmoil that can happen after the divorce, when two families become one. Back in the 70s, in the days of the Brady Bunch on TV, they were a novelty. A laugh a minute. These days, they're much more common. One in five Australian children now lives in a step-family. And the laughs can be few and far between. It's no picnic. In fact, while many do manage to make a go of it, the majority fail. Karl Stefanovic reports on the highs and the lows, why it's not always one big happy family.
