I decided a few months before marrying DH that I had to disengage because I absolutely HATE his children and it was consuming me, changing my personality and spoiling my spirit. I even stopped buying their favorite groceries - cereal, waffles, etc - and I only buy necessities and DH and my favs. I don't feel guilty about it because I have allowed myself freedom from the hideous people they are, I didn't create this mess and it's beyond me to "fix" them. SS15 is a bumbling, awkward IDIOT, and practically everything out of his mouth is total nonsense.
