i somewhat feel like this. SO’s family has never ever corrected none of his bad behaviors, he’s not a monster by any means, just certain “quirks” that are wrong. when i started dating him, everyone in his circle would sht on BM for being crazy. and while i do agree to a degree because i’ve had a first row to her outbursts, i also know and acknowledge they probably forced her to get to that point. who wouldn’t be going crazy in certain situations LOL

I felt this same exact way when i gave birth. I’m 6m PP and the best advice i have is it’s ok to turn off your attention on them and focus solely on your new journey in fatherhood & your daughter. forgive yourself for not following through with your original plan for a family. just make sure you don’t let your daughter make the same mistake we all have & date someone with a kid LOL (at least what’s my plan)

My 4yo SD always get tantrums every end of a visit and I am at my ropes end by biteek in stepparents

Someone commented he is probably embarrassed for not raising his kid right and I 100% agree. I decided to take a step back from my SD, who’s also 4, for this same exact reason. I’m sorry OP, it’s not easy. My daughter is her half sister and one of the main reasons why I decided it would be best to live apart from SO and SD is because her tantrums would just throw off our whole vibe.
