[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She had been traumatized and you are focusing on chores. She was, what, 20 when she moved in with a 35 year old?!? Something REALLY bad happened there. If your husband won’t get to the bottom of it, you need to. What you can control: - try to talk to her every day - ask her to do things with you. It’s ok if she says no. Just keep asking. Don’t expect yes. Just keep asking. - ask her to go places with you. Same thing…don’t expect yes, just keep asking. - Stop doing things for her. No laundry. No cooking unless it is family meals and she eats with you. - start seeing a therapist.[/quote] OP said she was 20 when she married her DH when he was 36 so the trauma of whatever happened with stepdaughter moving in with an old guy at the same age is clearly not resonating with these parents.
