My step daughter is nearly 13. I have been with her dad for over 2 years now and my son from previous marriage lives with us. Step daughter lives with us half the time.
She can be a complete cow and I dread now when she comes to stay. She asked me to be a facebook friend and nagged me to accept. When i did I wish I hadn't as she had answered a questionnaire which asked if she had any siblings and she said "no, one step brother but he doesnt count" Last night she said she thought it wasn't so bad because at least she could blame him for everything which I told her was not nice.
She really seems to have it in for my son and he just worships her. I don't want my son to be affected by her, he's had enough in his life already with my ex leaving us.
Is this just normal teenage nastiness and trying to be cool in front of friends ? Finding it hard to keep smiling at the moment and its getting to me a bit.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
