Hi everyone, it's me again...the stepmom who has the sd living with us who is rude to my family as well as her dad. Well my husband and I are still not on speaking terms. This past weekend I had a family party(my family) and he and his daughter decide they want to go home. I informed him I would take them home since I and my daughter were enjoying our family get together. Well he got upset and since then we have not spoken. As they both left my relatives house neither said their goodbyes. This is an ongoing issue with them. I mentioned that because of this we should go separately to our families parties. This way neither has to be there if they don't want. I've tried to involve the sd in my life. He claims I don't want her around. I do but sometimes she can be a real drag. Any way, he tried to antagonize me the following day but I wouldn't allow him. I simply ignored his comments and kept to myself. It's been so bad that I do not want to be in the same house with either one of them. I hate to have to involve my daughter like this. He called to inform me that his daughter has been sleeping on the couch and why is his daughter sleeping on the couch. My daughter and his share a room. She has decided since this past weekend to sleep on the couch, I have asked my daughter and she says she doesn't know why. Both girls are not speaking to each other.
I know what I should do but if I do he'll blame me for not trying harder...I can not try with a child who isn't willing to try? Is it time to let go?
