[quote=Anonymous]OP hasn't told us exactly WHAT the conflict is.  He just states that his wife is a raging monster.  What exactly does that mean?  What is she doing/saying?  What makes you think she's jealous?  Some amount of adjustment to the new situation is to be expected.  If you just assumed that you'd move your DD in and your DW would become instant doting mother, then that was YOUR deluded thinking.  In most blended family situations, children and new spouses are given time to develop relationships before throwing them together in an instant family scenario.  It seems like you set your wife up for failure.  Not saying it isn't possible that she's just a terrible nasty person (certainly that could be the case), but from the information you've given, I don't see how anyone can really form an honest opinion that isn't based solely on assumptions.

Also, from your description it sounds like she's lashing out at YOU, not your DD.  This is why I tend to feel that she ISN'T a nasty terrible person.  She is probably feeling unsupported and out of her depth with the situation, and you are doing nothing to help her navigate it.[/quote]
