I have been married to my wife for 25 years my 42-year-old stepdaughter from the beginning has always had an issue with our relationship. I have tried to reach out to her,employing her at 19 of which I had to fire her because she was using speed. then hired her again from my personal business five years later of which ended up closing and I had to reopen and lost $50,000.she has since straightened out her life at age 42 but the issue is she still continues not to really speak to me when she calls never Says hello and the straw that broke the camels back was two days ago visited our home to pick up a car for her 17-year-old son which the great-grandparents gave him,never said hello when walking into the house and never spoke at all realize upon leaving she never said anything and yelled goodbye and my wife has no problem with this what would you do

^^^This^^^ Your SD's behavior is unacceptable in your home. She doesn't have to be buddies with you but if she can not be respectful she should not be allowed in you house until she is. You do not owe it to SD or your wife to take that crap.

disengage. after that it wont matter what she says to you or does not say to you. your wife is the one who should have been correcting the sd when she was younger. at 42 its too late. agree that your wife failed you. you have been a kind stepfather for helping her in her young adulthood and have done enough. sd is old enough to be a grandmother herself. disengage and stop caring about winning her approval.
