Being a step parent is like a firing range, the step parent is the target while the step child is the gun. 18 year old wants to move out, graduation a week away, and she wants to move in with BM. Great!!! }:)

Randomness

Being a step parent started out not so bad when SD was 13. The ruthless teen years ahead (14,15,16,17, and 18)unfolded a journey that I somehow managed and still manage to deal with. SD graduates this year and I am proud of her, for there were many nights and days of being grounded from phone and a social life because of grades, disrespect,and bullshit drama. I still deal with the isolation and distant relationships of MIL and cousin because of the lies said in the past to them about me. No problem- disengaged from them.

How do other step mom's deal with being ignored from SD 18?

My SD 18 ignores me 90% of the time she is in the house with me. My DH claims she stays in her room even when it is just them home. Of course her cellphone use confirms this. When she does come out of room and occupies the same room, she will stare at me. I ask her What? She says oh nothing or sometimes it is a comment of a flaw she see's, or she will be replying to a text on the phone in which we pay for. She only comes out of room to eat when both her father and I are home and when she does the dishes at 9pm loudly as if it was to irritate us so the TV has to be turned up.
