Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing how others feel about my particular situation.  I have put up with terrible situations from my step daughter for 20 years now... before I married my husband 18 years ago.  She is a compulsive liar, master manipulator, a thief, and struggles with alcohol and drug abuse.  We've been through everything from DUI's, car accidents, to fake illnesses like two years left to live from colon cancer, breast cancer and a heart condition that needed immediate resolution with stem implants.
