OK so I am not a step parent but Gene has 2 daughters. The oldest will be 16 in 1 month and he has custody of ehr. She is great. She has issues thanks to her mother but she actually respects me and we get along great. Now the other one still lives with thier mother. She will be 13 next week. She drives me nuts and I can;t put my finger on it. She has no consideration for others but isn;t down right rude either. She often just has this blank stare on her face. I have seen her sleeping tiwce and it is always the same stif position. Maybe that is comfy for her but something is off there. Gene feels the same way. He has tried with her but she just does what she pleases.

I just needed to get that out in a place where she can't over hear if you know what I mean.

Maybe she is having the same issues with her mother that the older has? Has Gene tried talking to her about it and letting her know that she can always go to him if there IS something wrong or if she just wants/needs to talk?

Sounds like a typical 13 yr old to me.

Thier mother is, for lack of a better word, an idiot. Seriously. She told me she is in the dietary profession. I guess she scrapes the trays at the middle school cafeteria. Now I am keeping an open mind bc it is the kids that matter and they come first, but if I met her in a differant situation (other then being her x's GF) then I personally would not be friends with her. Gene's oldest is the one who was attacked a few weeks ago. Then at the hosp she found out she was pregnant (she miscarried last week but is doing OK) well the mother is telling everyone that Mary was not attacked that it was consentiual ect and she was the one that told Mary she was raped and they were going to the hosp, she is also telling everyone how Mary was pregnant and lost the baby. Again this is all up to Mary who knows not her mother.

I get so angry bc how can a mother back stab her own child? Well Joelle has alot of the same tell tale signs that she is like her mother. The lieing, talking about people behind thier backs, she has stolen from Gene, I know she needs help but her mom will never go for it. Gene does not feel he is up to handling her at this point. I will probubly do alot of venting here so I can get it out without her knowing because she is a child and as long as she follows the rules at my house then that is all I ask. When she is at her dad's it is up to him to put rules into place.

Thank God I had a good step-dad to show me the right way to deal with these situations.
