+1000  Too many people are projecting.  Your stepdaughter at 14 had a lot of nerve telling you not to get pregnant.  Now that she is 19, she is no longer a kid and should be treated like a young adult.

Frankly, she acts more like a jilted ex-wife than a stepdaughter;  she is a little too invested in your childbearing needs.  You have every right to be hurt by her behavior and should be cautious around her.  Your stepdaughter sounds like she is the one who needs therapy because if you get pregnant again, she will probably become unhinged all over again.

And, yes, you also have a husband problem regarding having more children but it is completely separate from the relationship problems that also exist with your stepdaughter.  Do not confide in her about your marital business.[/quote]

and +1000 to this.

I don't buy the argument that being a child gives you a free pass to continually be a jerk to someone -- plus she was 16, not 6.   Also, you're allowed to be hurt by what she did.

I'd suggest counseling just so you have a safe place to express these feelings-- preferably with someone who is sympathetic to blended family/step issues.   [/quote]
