When my stepdaughter got her licence her dad and I bought her a car. Her mother would not put any money down on it, yet drove several hours to where we live to watch her get the car. My husband and I put several thousands of dollars down on this car and were still making payments on it. Her mom paid the insurance. My stepdaughter turned 18 and my husband stopped child support. Lets just say some were upset and we noticed. Before this we may see her 1 or 2 times a month. She told us since she was 18 their was no longer a set date she had to come see us. This year we have seen her maybe 5 times. Cap and gown pictures were taken at school and no one told us. We discovered them when they were posted on facebook. We paid for graduation picture annouments, yet stepdaughter coukldnt find time to come and take them. My mom wanted to throw a graduation party and was told she didnt want one. We went on vaction and stepdaughter comlain daily. Called my husband a lair about 10 times and thought it was cute. She sent her whole time on the phone with friends. At the zoo, an employee commented on her apple watch we gave her for christmas and asked how much it was. I said they are expencive. Stepdaughter made a comment that that was all she got for chritsmas from us. I informed her it was not and that we sent more on her than her two brothers. She said yeah right. After we got back home and she left, I went into her room and Christmas presents were still sitting out. Untouched. It was June. My husband will text my stepdughter a sentence or a paragraph and get 1 word answers. He tries to talk and gets 1 word answers. He messaged her one day how are you doing. Several days later she messages him back an upsidedown smiley face. Thats it. On fathers day she elected not to come. She didnt even call him. Just posted somethingnon facebook. Well, the car was totaled, stepdaughters fault.When my stepdaughter got her licence her dad and I bought her a car.

The other day my husband was talking to her via text. She typed something about telling her little brother something. My husband suggested she call and talk to him. She said ok. And never called. They always want to know when she is coming. We never know. Skipping to the present. My stepdauhhter totaled the car we got her. Her fault. Her mom expects us to had over the check from insurance for a new car. My stepdaughter copies and sends her mom text messages from my husband. My husband said the advice that her stepdad gave her was bad and they were all mad. Her mom threaded to pull the insurance so the totaled car was not paid for. Now my husband is being message by her mom wanting to know about the car. Yet my stepdaughter really has nothing to do with us and treats her dad like crap. I told him to do whatever he feels like he mneeds to do. If he wants to give her the check for a new car, but know nothing will change. Give her a small portion , and she will be mad. Buy her a new car. What do you think? He doesn't want to lose his daughter, but at the same time he knows he is being treated wrong. He has talked to her about how she treats him and nothing has changed.
