'I am there to be a supportive person in their lives when they need (or want) me to be. But now I know when it’s time to disengage.'
Riding in the car, you crack the window to let some of the salty sea air in. “Guys, this is my favorite part — we made it!” you sing, not a care in the world. Beside you driving is your sweet, handsome husband. In the back, amongst the fruit snack wrappers and Capri Sun empties are your step-children. It’s your first major family vacation as a unit, and you are here for theof the Year award you just know you’re going to earn.
Years later, I found myself in a long-term relationship with a man who had two children, close in age to my own, and — here we go again — spun out once again on The Hope. We arranged camping trips and vacations, family meals, and holidays. Having been previously concussed by The Juggernaut of Reality, I was cautious but ever optimistic. This was it!
That’s where my second marriage, and third attempt at step-parenting comes in. I think I have finally figured it out. And the answer is simple: Disengage. There’sThe man I am married to is quite often like a handwritten version of The Perfect Man. He is smart. He is handsome. He is hilarious, romantic, talented in his field, has a wonderful family who loves me and my son, has an incredible eye for home decor and the right shoes — he really, truly is a catch.
Husband having a hard time co-parenting with his ex? I will always listen to his conversation about it, but rarely do I offer unsolicited suggestions. Kids misbehave while they’re here? Not my issue. I let their dad handle it and reappear when things are more mellow. This is not to say I am unconcerned with the ebb and flow of their goings-on and intricacies — far from it.
