One of the things I found really hard to do was detaching from the chaos of STBXAH's life. Taking a step back and letting him be the adult he is, responsible for his own choices in life. Please, let your mother and step father work out their own problems. They are grown ups and there is nothing you can really do about it if they decide to split. Don't get caught up in all the drama. try applying the three C's here too! You've informed them of the options. Now let it go. This was really hard for me to do!

I recommend reading Melody Beattie's Co-dependant No More - you ought to be able to get a copy in your local library. It was a real eye opener for me and you might get something out of it too.
