Hi,
Im new here & after some advice if possibly please?
So, been with OH for 2 years now..i have one DD who is 8 & he has 2 kids, well i say kids! He has 1 DD of 19 & 1 DS of 22.
The DS and i have no issues, hes a lovely boy & welcome anytime however is the DD i have the issue with!
I meet the DD over a year ago & that was the 1st & only time! Let me start from the beginning..
Me & OH werent living together at this point however we decided it was best 10 months into us being together that the time was right for me & DD daughter to meet. DD was spoken to by OH about this & declared she also thought it was the right time etc etc. The date was arranged & OH went to pick her up, once back @ OHs home she walked through the door already with a face like thunder, she sat down i tried to chat..she ignored. My DD also tried on numerous occasions to talk to her & also ignored. I went to hang the washing out before we went out & heard her saying to OH she wanted to go home..after 10 minutes of being there
we had agreed (her included) that we would go bowling so off we went, i got in the back of MY car so she could sit in the front again conversation going nowwhere fast at this point
we got to the bowling alley where she then stated 'i aint bowling' i asked her if she wanted to do something else, ignored again! by then i had begun to loose any patience i had, however i kept my cool & carried on
me, oh & my DD bowled whilst she sat on her iphone & being damn right rude to not only me & my DD but also to OH. I tried again x4 & each time she ignored me, i waited till the game had finished & as we were walking out of the bowling alley i told OH to take me & DD home.
He took us home & texted to say how sorry he was & that he would deal with it, picked us back up later that day & said he had spoken to her..she had cried & said she didnt know what to say to me (erm how about an answer to my 31345 questions?!) she didnt want to talk to my DD as she doesnt know what to say to kids (doesnt know how to say hello?!) the shock overtook her of how young i look (im 28 & OH is 45)..
anyway to cut a long story short i have never seen her since then, we have moved in together & she has never been to the house when i am there..partly down to me saying no to be honest
when OH goes to see her it will be on Sat when i am at work or a Sun when i simply refuse to go..
the time before last when she was at our house (i was at work, however can feel my bloody boiling at the thought of her being in my home) she told OH she was over it & she'd done alot of growing up since then..
however this is the 19 year old girl that spend the whole week before xmas crying down the phone to her daddy (yes she calls him daddy) that she wanted him to spend xmas day at home with her mum, her & DSS..he refused of course, this is the 19 year old girl who still calls him daddy, this is the 19 year old girl that will only ring him / arrange to see him if she wants something, stamps her feet & cries when she doesnt get her own way..i cannot see where she has grown up?!
for xmas this year both DSS & DSD come to our house for boxing day, i swopped swifts so i could work a 15 hour day to ensure i wasnt there, i arranged for my DD to be at my mums so she wouldnt be put in the position of being ignored by DSD.
OH had agreed to only spend £100 each on them for xmas, however when she realised that it would not be a car in that case the tantrum that followed was unreal!
OH had brought her a designer handbag however it wasnt the right one therefore she didnt 'fucking' want it, regardless of the fact i'd spent 3 hours trying to find that on the internet!! and no mention of me or DD in her xmas card, designed from moonpig with DADDY on the front!! grrrrrr...!!!
now this all came to a head last night in a row between me & my OH..he states i should be over it by now & i think hes right however i just cant seem to? I feel my blood boiling everytime i think of her!!
sorry its so long & thats for getting this far!!
