I have a step daughter. She is lovely, we are quite close in age (8 year gap) and she is in her early 20's.
I married her dad 2 years ago and I have a DS with him who is 9 months.
We haven't seen DD since we got married (she was my only bridesmaid) we've always been in good terms but she's quite private and doesn't really offer information or share anything that goes on in her life.
We do ask and take an interest, but I never feel good about pushing her to share so never have.
Since we got married we talked about arranging a catch up etc but she's always been busy. Then found out I was pregnant and she said she was happy for us.
There was no indication that there was a problem and she has always been polite and friendly when chatting but has resisted any attempts of meeting up and as a result she has not met her half brother.
A week ago, we decided to go visit her (we didn't message first as we wouldn't have stayed if she didn't want us to etc) when we got there a stranger answered the door and it turns out that she'd moved back in March.
I feel really sad that something is broken between us. (I know it's not the same in every case but gny dad recently left my mum and moved away. I was desperate to keep contact but he wasn't so bothered with me)
I'm not sure how to go forward?
I'd appreciate any advice or words of wisdom.
