I have been dreading this moment for a long time, hoping I would never have to deal with it. My daughter has gotten to the point where she could care less about her step mom. Its breaking my wifes heart and I have no clue as to what to do. I feel a lot of it is because of my ex (daughters mom)...and her family..they have always been cold towards my wife and some of it has to do with a friend of hers who she has been hanging around with (who happens to be my 2nd cousin) who is a little bitch to put it bluntly, her family life is pretty bad so she is a product of her environment.
Anyhow she generally ignores my wife when she is talking to her, doesn't apologize and never tells her she loves her. My wife has been part of her life since she was born and does anything she can for her. So its not like my wife is treating her bad or that she was a stranger that just popped into her life one day.
I plan on sitting us all down this weekend and letting her know her behavior is unacceptable, but I dont know if that will do any good.
We have really tried hard to give my daughter a good home life here. We felt it was important to have a stable and caring home here since her mom is constantly jumping from one relationship to another. Always cheating on her husband or boyfriend and dragging my daughter from one "home" to another.
Sorry for the book, just need to air my problems and hopefully get some advice from my AA family.
I guess its true that you get paybacks for how you were as a child when you have kids of your own...
