Re: 12 year old Step daughter caught doing funny stuff with my almost 2 year old daughter.

I just read your post, again and you mentioned that the father of this 12 year old child leaves YOU to iron out the issues with the child's mother. He may seem "docile" and avoids drama, but he is clearly triangulating you in a situation that is 100% his responsibility.

The mother of this child may seem nuts and in denial, but it is a rare situation when divorced parents put their issues aside for the best interests of their offspring. That you attempted to discuss the behavior with the mother and subsequently met with hostility only further indicates that this is the responsibility of the father and that you are assuming HIS obligations as your own. You do not have the power, responsibility, or obligation to get this child the help that she needs, unfortunately.

I would strongly suggest that you read up on passive/agvressive behavior and how to manage it and focus your energy on your baby and her well being, as well as your own.

Again, my most sincere best wishes to you. Tweet
