I have recently met DP's youngest (mid teens)
She understandably doesn't like me as I contributed to her parents splitting up last year.
I need to build bridges with her and DP and I have taken it slowly and let her meet me in her own time.
I am trying really hard to make an effort but she won't engage much with me. When I ask her things I get short answers and she won't ask me anything back.
Clearly circumstances make meeting me difficult for her but is there anything I can do to make it easier for her?
I do give her time alone with her dad but any tips on thawing the ice would be welcome.
