I'm so tired of this. No matter what I do my step daughter goes and complains to my husband. I was cleaning some cupboards and my step daughter had 10 + water bottles cluttering up this cabinet. I removed them and put them in her room with a note asking her to go through them. She goes and complains....my feelings are hurt....I don't feel like she wants me here.....then my husband is down on me saying YOU act like you don't want "us" here! I've asked her that if she has a problem with things that I say or do to come and talk to me. She never does. She goes to "daddy" and it's not like she's a kid....she's 19 for Pete's sake. I've had it. What can I do to deal with thud. It's destroyed my marriage. (link)

Hey!
It's usually really hard for kids when their parents are split up, because they feel as if it's their fault (even if they don't show it), this can actually lead to some pretty serious depression in the future (I have a few friends who's parents are divorced). It can sometimes be even harder once their biological parent finds a new person to remarry. I think the reason why she turns to him is because she trusts him more (considering the fact that you just came into her life, and her dad has always been there for her). I'm going to be honest with you I don't think she sees you as a 'mom' figure. You have to show them your love, and your trust.
Hope this helps

I've been in her life for 13 years, ever since she was in kindergarten, and we were married 12 years ago and I've lived with her all this time. I can't live with a teenager anymore. She's not a bad kid, and most people would feel blessed knowing her. There are things I'm fed up with though, like when I get home, she's always in the kitchen. I feel I have to wait to use the kitchen! And if I say anything, my husband treats me like I'm the problem, or the enemy. She gets to use our car when ever she wants. Again if I say anything he argues his point.
