Morning all, new to all this but need some advice.
Been with my husband 3 years and our daughters used to get on, as they have got older though (11 and 12) they became interested in different things. Husbands daughter is into make up,clothes social media, instagram mainly and my daughter still likes to play computer games etc.
They stopped talking about 9 months ago, we didnt know why, kept asking if they had a falling out, my daughter said no other then step daughter constantly asking my daughter to like her instagram posts. It has made family weekends very awkward to say the least. we have tried forcing them to talk and tried leaving them and nothing works. Whilst on our honeymoon my ex phoned to say our daughter was in tears as step daughter has txt our daughter to say she wants to beat her up, shes stuck up etc! totally out of the blue. My husband spoke to his daughter, she said it was a friend that took her phone then admitted it was her later on. She has apologised to my daughter, via txt and they still do not talk. Im torn because i have my ex telling me he dosent want our daughter to spend weekends with me whilst step daughter there, which ive said it stupid as wont resolve anything and make life harder. so as it stands they spend the whole weekend not talking. People tell me its a phase but im dreading xmas with the awkwardness. Any advice please?
