[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't have any suggestions to improve things now, but if you and your DH love her now, she will surely remember when she grows up.

I had issues as a child, and I did not come from a blended or divorced family so that is not necessarily the issue in your case.

I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder at 10 because that is all they could come up with at the time. I never cursed or hit my parents, but I was a terror at 13 at home and in school. I was always angry and always argumentative. I would stay home from school for weeks because there were too many rules.  Whatever I had, teenage hormones made it worse. I developed some severe neurological symptoms in my early 20s as well.

All this to say that it was a rough road, but I remember always been loved. I always felt loved by my parents, so I knew the anger and acting out did not make any sense. I am a different person now through pure luck as I still don't have a diagnosis and my neurological symptoms are much less severe. I am extremely grateful to my parents for unconditional love, and I remember the hugs, back rubs and words of encouragement from my parents when I was going through it.

It might be harder for you and your DH to show your DD unconditional love since she has hit/ attempted to hit you, but try to find ways to be there for her without necessarily encourage hitting. She will be forever grateful. Wishing you and your family the best.
