[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 17 year old step daughter. I married my husband when she was 6 and because of her mother being really mean to me and [b]almost breaking up our marriage I put a stop to step daughter coming to our house. [/b]We have seen her less than 10 times int he last 11 years. She has now asked to be in my husbands life and I am trying to find a way to bond with her so we can do family vacations or just have her come to our home. She is s sweet girl but can be a brat sometimes. I hate to admit this and wish I could change it but I don't feel love toward her and wouldn't care if she were not in our lives but I know that DH wants her to be apart of our family. DH has not known is dad and his mother hasn't been a good mother so he had not learned how to be a good father. I always thought if he didn't feel that strong love for his daughter it would be best for her that she stay away. My tune has changed a little since she wants to have a relationship with our family. Please no snark! I know I am cold and don't have much empathy about this situation but this is why I am on her asking for help. I want to remedy this situation.[/quote]

I'm having a LOT of trouble getting past this.
