AM I A GRINCH?

SD 17 (will be 18 in Jan) has not been a part of our family since March of last year. She moved in with us Jan of last year and when she went to her mom's for the weekend the beginning of March, she never came home. BM drove her to our house and she cleaned out her bedroom while we were at work and moved back in with her mom. BM lives on our support checks, and basically made SD feel like she had to move home, because they couldn't make it without her.

They need to mind their own business!!!

Ok. SD17 moved in with us back in January. She lived in a very UNstable household with her BM and Step dad. Step dad has "explosive disorder" and lives off of the system and Bio Mom is bi-polar and lives off of the system. SD is 17 and when she moved in with us, she didn't even know what a W2 was. Well, the beginning of March, she went to visit her mom, and never came home. She called on Sunday and said that she was sick and didn't think she could make the drive home (it's 1 1/2 hr. drive).

Here We go!!!

Well, this past weekend totally sucked. My SD came down for her visit with her dad. I stayed away from her because I didn't know what to say. She knows that what she said hurt me, but I don't know if she really cares or not. DH picked her up on the motorcycle and she was uncomfortable, so he brought her up to my work to ride home with me. That was the most awkward 45 minutes. She just looked out the window and didn't say anything to me the whole way home. Once we got home, I went out and played with the dogs some to leave her "alone" with her dad.

CONFUSED???? HELP!!!

I am new to this site, I am looking for some guidence. I am a new Step Mother of 2 and do not have any children of my own. My Step Daughters are 14 and 17. We don't have much contact with the oldest anymore, but the youngest we still get every other weekend. Well, I just overheard a conversation that she was having with her BM over the weekend that hurt me. She was crying on the phone with her and said that she is more important than me and that her dad is only worried about me and not her. This couldn't be further from the truth!!!!
