My son (divorced with 2 young children) has recently met and fallen in love with a lovely lady aged 40. She is also divorced and has 2 girls, 16 and 12. The 16 year old is positively foul to my son and his children. Her poor mum is so distressed about it. The youngest would probably be more amenable if it wasn't for her older sister. Both her mum and her dad have spoken to her to try to make her behaviour more acceptable, but nothing works. Bless him, my son tries hard to bridge the gap. He recently invited them all out for a meal. The 16 year old sat at the table but refused to eat at all.
Her mum and my son would like to move in together - they've been together for a year - but the daughter's behaviour is making that unlikely.
Has anyone faced this problem? Any advice?
