Daughter is challeneging every aspect of my household
Well, I am here hoping to get some positive effective advice. Let me break it all down. I am a 35 yr old mother of 4. A 16, 14, 13 year old and 9 month old. My first 3 kids are from a prior marriage (now happily divorced & engaged to a wonderful man). In 2011, I had a brain tumor removed, got pregnant in July 2011, had a severe car accident in Dec. 2011 (while pregnant) drove while having seizures and went down a 30 foot drop. I walked away w/baby ok & no broken bones. In Jan. 2012 went back into hospital, due to my sack rupturing and was there for 2 weeks. My fiancé made sure my 3 kids were fully taken care of, when none of our famalies offered any help. In July 2011, my fiancé was hit by a young girl. The girl knocked him off his bike and then ran over his right wrist, which now he is permanently disabled. Through the beginning challeneges of our relationship, my 16 & 14 yr old have been and remain supportive and loving. But, my 13 year old, HATES my fiancé and writes daily letters about the whole family. I have tried counseling, but due to financial reasons, we cannot afford it. I'm seeking advice on how to approach and handle the situation. My 13 year old will not open up and communicate with me, stays isolated, aggressive and angry at anyone in the home. My 13 year old is an A student w/a high GPA. But, I do not want my 13 yr old to go down the wrong path, due to that she dislikes everyone in her home. I am at such a loss, I didn't think I would ever be doing this, but I'm a committed, dedicated mother and know my divorce was hard enough for my kids to handle. Especially, due to them feeling abandon by their biological father, who still to this day, shows little signs of involvement.

Thank you for taking the time
Thank you for taking the time to reply. Yes, girls are complex. My daughter is feisty and full of fire. Does not wanna verbally communicate, there are many positive attributes to her, but currently she's displaying a lot of negativity. My fiancé's in the hospital tonight getting another surgery on his hand and my daughter said in a letter she's glad he got hit by a car and wishes he would die. My fiancé has gone out of his way to impress her and be kind and loving. She still rejects him, but takes items that belong to him. I'm am trying to remain patient and loving.
California is drowning in
California is drowning in mental health issues w/adults, disable, children, and teens. My fiancé and I plan on leaving California in a few years, due to the needs of the children. Here it is very bad, especially if your not making over $50, 000 a year. I am glad to hear that the disruptive, hateful behavior is normal. My 16 year old son has ADHD/Bipolar/Depresion and had to move w/his father due to his severe aggressive behavior problems. Now, Dr.'s are saying my middle son has social phobia. They misdiagnose kids here to much and want to keep them medicated. I have worked in the behavioral field and witnessed lots of laziness from many doctors. I feel better reading the replies, it gives me better perspective.
Please get your daughter into
Please get your daughter into some counseling. Perhaps it's even misdirected anger towards her father for abandoning her. Have you tried to flat out ask her why she hates him so much? Is he more strict than you are on the kids? Does he take a disciplinarian position with her? Has there been any change in Your relationship with her since meeting your fiancé? I'm just asking some questions to gain further knowledge.
You said she writes daily about her issues with her family members. How do you read them? Is it published online or on FB or something? How did you find it?
