[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP. I think would feel jealous too if I were you. But probably deep down, you know that you have to be her mom, and not her BFF, as others have said, love her unconditionally, and let her have already said. Let her enjoy this good relationship with her stepmom. You won't lose her as long as you are a good mom. You're more likely to lose her if you act out on the jealousy, make snide or self-injured comments, express disapproval etc. I know it's really hard, and I'm so sorry this hurts.

My sister and I have divorced parents so I have some experience with this from the other side. My mom is very jealous and insecure and acted very hurt because my sister developed a friendship with our stepmom. My sister complained to me about my mom's jealousy a lot. My mom also complained to me a lot about my sister's friendship with the stepmom because I was the older daughter. My mom's neediness actually prevented me from having a close relationship with my dad and stepmom because I was afraid of hurting my mom's feelings. We both love our mom very much, but we wish she weren't so insecure. [/quote]
