[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 363539, member: 4040"] I was thinking along the same lines as Step, but she posted first! You're doing the best you can, in a difficult situation. You love your wife and her daughter, and want to do whatever you can to help. BUT...you can't fix this and make everything wonderful. That's where my Hubby is struggling, too. He hates the way Miss KT acts, with her rudeness towards me (but mainly towards him), and wants to defend me. While I appreciate his love and caring, it tends to make things worse. Then we have everybody screaming, crying, ticked off, hurt feelings... You are not the problem, and I suspect there would be no change in your sd's behavior if you were to leave the family. Miss KT wouldn't have behaved any better in the long run had Hubby and I separated. In fact, I believe she would have been worse, in part because I would have had to work full-time rather than part-time, leaving her unsupervised. You and your wife need to be on the same page, work at keeping your marriage strong, and stand together against the onslaught of difficult child-ness. Hubby and I just celebrated our tenth anniversary two weeks ago. [/QUOTE]
