Disengaging As A Stepmom (The Right Way) with Darren + Jamie

[@brandondrawhorn]

This is great! I will say, he corrected her a few times when she’s tried to pretend like she hadn’t blown up on him and when she said she hasn’t disengaged over 100 times - he made sure he was honest and polite but girl, you have blown up and disengaged. Not looking for perfection by any means just real life examples paired with growth 😊

You guys are such a beautiful couple. The intelligence and the way you play off of each others strengths and work together is inpiring. Esspecially for those that didnt grow up seeing this :) Ps. If your husband started an asmr channel he would 100% succeed. Hes got that deep, soothing therapist voice. And your idea to create a channel for stepmom support that pushes away from negativity is so very kind. Thank you!

I do have a question. I have 3 kids from a previous marriage, he has 1, and we have 1 together. When we got together he had rules I didn’t have, but I supported him when he went to enforce them, even though I didn’t totally agree. When it came time to enforce rules I had he didn’t, I never got support. 7 years later we still have this issue. So I disengaged, but all it did was show my step child that she didn’t have to respect me, nor follow the rules the other kids have to follow. I am at a total loss. These are rules such as I don’t tolerate lies, which I know kids lie, but my step child lies about a lot and never a punishment for it. So at 12 now, she has gotten really bad about it along with taking things from others in the house. Still, I have no support. Her lies have caused a huge split in our family, and not sure what to do. Lying is a big thing to me and my husbands response is she’s not being disrespectful with her lying. Her lies have gotten to where she makes things up, usually involving others, and both mom and dad do nothing. I do not know how to lessen my anxiety and protect my kids, nor fix this issue with her.
