I am not one to reach out to strangers for help when it comes to raising my family. I have been with my husband for six years (married for two of them). He has a daughter from a previous relationship that he has been raising on his own since she was a couple months old (of course until I came along). When we were first together she seemed to love me pretty well. She loved it when I would come over, and never did the my daddy thing. We used to do all sorts of things together. Then about three years ago things started to take a turn for the worse. She started talking back to me and yelling at me. I just brushed it off as a stage she was going through and then it started to get worse. At our wedding she refused to wear the dress that the flower girls were wearing. She refused to listen to me. Now she is calling me names, yelling at me all the time, if i even touch her with just one finger she cries out saying I am hurting her. What makes this even harder is my husband only sees all through me telling him. He believes me but I don't think he understands. I feel so alone in all of this. I can also tell that she knows exactly what she is doing because she treats me so awful when we are alone but as soon as anyone comes around she is like "yes mommy" "I love you mommy" "can i do anything for you". I feel like crying everyday but am afraid to so that my husband doesn't feel bad and I don't want to give her that kind of power. Come to think of it as I am writing this I am being bullied by my 8 year old step-daughter!!!!!!
