step children

Will my husband ever support me over his 17 year old daughter, my stepchild?

Have you asked him ?

[slinky.kate]

depends whats the problem,but i'd say no

[DTCwordfan]

maybe yes, maybe no.

this is bit like the crossword clues that folk ask not giving the number of letters involved or, slightly better, any letters that they may have

Annoying me cause he'll say he's on my side when we talk to his ex, the childs mum, but seems to blot it out when we get home and I mention anything. Its Just household stuff, no big worries. I may be over-reacting! In cold hard print I think I am....

His child is his own flesh and blood and you are not. The bond will never weaken between him and her. I had 3 step daughters and many years ago there were many problems. However, in time things are all right when they become adults. This may sound a bit simplistic, but I can say from experience that having step children is a minefield at times.

Much as I love my husband, I get very defensive if he critisises my daughter (his step daughter) in any way. He very rarely does it and when he does, deep down I know he's right. But it's that protective instinct - I'll defend her no matter what.
