After some time of trying this method, if there is no change in your relationship with your stepson, it would be beneficial to consult a professional. If your stepson continues to pull away from you, it may, chas v’shalom, affect your shalom bayis; thus, it is important to deal with this before it becomes a bigger issue. I wish you hatzlocha and admire your attitude towards this issue. May Hashem give you the strength to deal effectively with this challenging situation!
