Am I doing the right thing?

I have decided to just back off from helping or getting.involved with my sd10. I get to emotionally involved in trying to raise her "the right way" for example making her do her choirs, brushing her teeth, showering, being kind to others, going to church, etc. I am tired of trying to make her the best she could be especially when I don't get the support from dh or bm. So a couple weeks ago I told myself I was done and told dh.he had to be responsible for her. I don't tell her to do anything anymore, I don't take her to church...I told dh if he wants her to go he has to bring her. I also told him that I will not take her if he is not here, that he would have to make different arrangements for her.
I just need to focus on my two children rather than feeling like I am beating a dead horse.
So am I being a complete bitch or doing the right thing?

That is what I did right before DH left with SD. I got where I was doing nothing from her and just shut myself off from her. She was the one who caused it with help from him. I always told her "you get what you give". I have to say this week without them both my life has been easier. Less stress to say the least. I do miss him and want our marriage to work but not like it was. The longer you get treated like crap the more resentment that will build inside and smother any feelings you may have for your husband.
