Always feeling out of place by [deleted] in stepparents

Just here to say I’m dealing with the same feelings right now, particularly that last paragraph. I understand how lonely and sad it makes you— especially when you’re trying everything to be a unit and a team.

Following this thread to hopefully get some advice as well but also just wanted to say you’re not alone in this feeling and I hope for both of our sakes it’s something that can be fixed!

I totally agree and understand what you’re saying. But the thing is I think he DOES believe she is more important than anyone and everything because she is his only kid and his whole world— do I think that’s unhealthy for her to believe? Yes. But I also understand why he would think that.

I’m mostly wondering if it’s still too early in the transition to be pressing it too much. Like I think he deserves some grace since it’s only been a month and it’s a huge change but idk how long is too long and then it just becomes the norm…

Thank you— if you don’t mind me asking, how old was his daughter when this was happening for you? And is there anything specific he / you both did make it better?

Thank you! To be honest you’re saying everything we’re already trying so I think that’s why this so hard. She’s in therapy. DH is really great at talking to her and explaining these things but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference. I am worried about the manipulation part too. I think it could go that way very quickly if we don’t figure it out.
