How to disengage
Disengaging is a very useful strategy that stepfathers should always keep available in their toolbox. We are not always in the mood or have the energy to engage with a step kid that is not being at peak performance.
We can get mad, or get frustrated cause we have to give in, but the weapon of disengagement is always available.
While not to be used too frequently, it is a wonderful tool to get a breather. Let things slide off you and do not voluntarily tackle issues that you know will not, at that time, bring any good. It takes some effort but the rewards are quite surprising.
