I would like to say Hi and I am thankful to have found thid site. I really need help and fast.

BD had custody of daughter then she moved to BM house. In that time we started dating, she moved back here knowing BD was living with me now. We had problems at first but I thought we were over them til this New Year EVE. She was allowed to go to a party and spend the night at friends house. She didn't text til 4 pm the next day saying she would be home soon.(she never phones)Well she never came home...texted the next day at 5pm to say she lost phone and will be home soon. Her BF texted her back to get home now..she informed him she would when a friend showed up to drive her home. She was told to walk home now..(she is at friends house 10 min walk away) She text back no..BF say's to get home now. She text back ok. An hour and half go by...I phone the house were she at and tell them to send her home. She comes home he grounds her for two weeks and she yells at me. Now she hasn't said one word to me in 8 days. What can I do...I want her to leave!!!

HUH? you want to leave b/c her father grounded her and she said something to you? I'm confused. What she did didn't sound like much plus her dad took care of it. I could understand if dad didn't say anything or didn't ground her but he did. So again why do you want her to go?

No I want her to leave because she she refuse to help in the house plus this behaviour of not talking to me ( even a hello)is common place. she can go on for months and has without saying one word to me.

you could try being glad she isn't talking to you, LOL.
What does your boyfriend say about this behavior?

He thinks it will all work out in the end. He keeps saying that SD and I will work threw this. I don't know how??!!

I just wouldn't speak to her, either. If she knows it is bothering you, she wins.

So don't talk to her, and don't do anything for her either, until she apologizes to you for yelling at you. That is the best "revenge" you can get. Ignore her, ignore her, ignore her. When your BF says something to you, calmly tell him you are waiting for your apology and go about your business.

I agree with BLM^^^^ that it could be a 15 year old snottiness. They do that. It does seem that she has quite a bit of control over her coming and going times.

I wonder about that.

I understand. You want them safe. You want them to get along with you. But on the other hand if they weren't there it would be easier..Yes that sounds about how I feel about my SS(14). I want to slap his face whenever I see him for the way he talks to me. My husband just says its a teenager thing but I was a horrible kid to my parents at that age but I also knew I still had to show them respect. Good luck and my advice just count the years till they are 18.
