[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't give up! I was in your position a long while ago, raising my stepdaughter from the age of 10 months on (her parents weren't married, and my DH and the biomom broke up during biomom's pregnancy). DSD and I were incredibly close for a long time, DH and I had other kids, the same situation. Then when DSD was a teen, she became cold and distant. I regret reacting to what I understand now was typical teenage boundaries and attitude. It took a long while for us to become close again, but it really helped when she went away to college. It gave us a chance to write to each other and explore healthier boundaries. Now she's 31 years old, and we are closer than ever. I'd say I feel more attuned to her than to my other kids. Over the years we've talked about her teen years, and I've apologized for having overreacted. I promise it will get better. I also know it's incredibly hard. Hugs to you![/quote] OP - Thank you for you kind words. You have given me the most help feedback. I really appreciate hearing it.[/quote]
