daughter doesnt get along with step-dad
I am a mother of 3 girls, ages 18, 16 and 9. I have recently gotten remarried to a man I met a little over 2 yrs ago. We have been married for 1 yr. When we first met, I found myself attracted to him because he was very into being a family and was there for my girls, as there dad is not.(long story). Anyhow, my oldest daughter who is 18 now, became pregnant at the end of high school and is having a baby in November. The struggle I am having is that they don't get along anymore. He finds that she is disrespectful and should be living life on her own, and she finds that any help he gives her, he seems to hold it over her head. I find myself in the middle of the two and it is killing me.... she is having my first grandbaby and we have always been close. It is definitely causing some heartache in my marriage. Any suggestions on what to do?
I think that your husband has issues over teen pregnancy and this is what is getting in his way... It may also mean that you will be more " with her" than him?
Is he acting like you are not there as much already? As, you should be with him?
He may have chosen you as the children bar one were at a good age, where they would be co-dependant and now his life is threatened in his eyes, by losing your attention, for her.
No guy changes just because a girl gets pregnant something is bothering him over this and you need to find out what it is, and re-assure him that HE is important, this relationship is new.

Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
It doesn't happen over night
if truth were to be told.
Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
you must believe!
