I'd say the best "strategy" is to just be the best role model you can be. After our dad walked out on us, my brother and I went to live with our mom's brother - our uncle and he & his wife were the best adult role models I ever had and had a profound effect on my life!

It's sad that a google search with stepdaughter in it brought up all sorts of results about how they're brats or stepmom can't stand step daughter. Breaks my heart

I see the same patterns at Yahoo Answers where the adult is ALWAYS right and the kid is ALWAYS a brat! IMO, a brat is simply the victim of bad parenting but it's so much easier and SAFER to blame and attack the defenseless "brat" rather than the ones who are causing it.
Oh well.....
