Therepy, health visitors, contacting school, books on trying to understand and be sympathetic to the ex wife. What is she doing? Sabotaging her daughters relationship with daddys wife. It is me who is making the effort to understand and put right what the ex wife is doing wrong. Our marriage at the moment is all about my step daughter. I have little strength left to be a mother to my own children, the attention is focused purely on my step daughter and I'm tired of it.<BR/> I just want to be a mum and a wife. I'm tired of games and tactics and I know my husband is too. I am afraid my step daughter will be lost to her mothers influence and cannot be saved.mum23https://www.blogger.com/profile/01646255756988254444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042322814583437759.post-28876810440863377012007-07-21T14:31:00.000+01:002007-07-21T14:31:00.000+01:00I think this is an extremely positive step. Well d...I think this is an extremely positive step. Well done for encouraging your husband to be bold enough to do a school visit. It is annoying that you cannot be part of this now but I am sure with time you will be able to get your relationship back on track with your step-daughter. In my opinion it is categorically not her fault that she behaves in this way: At 7 she is so influenced by her mother. This is now clear having heard from her that her daughter no longer cared for her father. I sincerely believe it is within you and your husband's power to get this little girl back into the family life you want. It will just take time, a lot of patience and a few tactics!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
