[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are destroying your relationship with your DD. While it's nice that you managed to save $30K for her college tuition, you have made choices in your personal life that are adversely affecting her. Your DD had no say in this "family" you attempted to create - and I use that term loosely because none of what you described sounds like an actual family, even by blended-family standards.  I cannot imagine marrying a man who, to use your own words, doesn't view himself as a father figure to my young teenage children who live in the same house. Yet you're ok with that. You CHOSE to marry a man who wants no relationship with your child and you're giving him a pass. You thought you could marry this guy and have a better life with seemingly zero thought as to how your DD fit into the picture.  You are "family" in certain respects but not others - and you expect a 17yo to be understanding and accepting of this situation?

This is about money for college, certainly, but it's about so much more than that. You don't have much time left to salvage your relationship with your DD.
