[quote=Anonymous]OP I agree with the advice to talk to your niece and encourage her to share her feelings with her mother. I also agree that there are some ordinary preteen and sibling dynamics in play here. However, there is one more wrinkle that's special and that she might be struggling with: if she is in a joint custody situation, then she only gets to be with her mother part time. The baby gets to be with her mother full-time, something your niece lost when she was very young. I'm divorced with joint custody of my daughter and when her dad and I split I decided not to have any more kids because of this very dynamic. She's got half sisters with her dad and stepmother and they do what they can to be even-handed but the reality is that she feels left out. [/quote]
