This is my first time posting. I am glad I found this site because I am sure my friends are getting tired of hearing about this. My second husband and I have been married for 11 years. His 13 year old daughter moved in with us 1 1/2 years ago. Her mother was on drugs at the time. Since she has been there, she has been caught in numerous lies. She was upset with me one time and accused my 14 year old son of some terrible acts. She told her mom's mom. After a while she admitted that she lied and why she did it. That did not stop the grandmother from calling social services and the police. That is not a knock on the door you want at midnight. Anyway, lucky for us, she did tell them the truth and that she lied. After this, I do not allow her near my son for 1 second alone. I want her out of my house. My husband does not understand this. He feels that she made a mistake and we need to trust her. I will NEVER let her near my son. She also does not lift a finger around the house. Anytime I ask her to do something, she does a terrible job. If she puts up dishes, she puts them in the wrong place and I have to search for them. It is not worth it. She has also been caught cheating at school twice. Her mother is drug free and has been for a year. She has not paid us one dime of child support in the past year and 1/2. In fact, she continued to get child support from my husband for the 1st six months since it was through the courts. She cashed every check. We are now having financial problems and she is still not expected to pay us a dime. For so long, my husbands excuse was that she was out of our lives. If we demanded child support, she would see the child and he did not want that. Now, he is allowing her to see the daughter and still not help financially. Am I wrong for resenting the hell out of this situation? Any ideas?
