So, I have been with my husband for three years now and we have a one year old daughter. When he and I first got together, I fell in love with his daughter. She and I became best friends and I even said to him, "Wow, I had no idea when I first met you, that I would love this little girl so much." We cooked together, cuddled, watched movies, etc. She even said to me once, "I am so glad my dad got with you." And, defended me from her mom. Would tell me "I love you." It was great! 

Some background information...I started dating my husband when my SD's were 6 and 9yrs old and at the time he had 50/50 custody. We were married 2yrs later and the day before our wedding his ex-wife served us with a motion for full custody and ultimate decision making over the girls' lives. 

Well, for a second there I thought things were getting better around here. I have made a lot of progress with the stepdaughter who is now 13. Mostly just with things like picking up after herself, shutting her bedroom light off B4 she falls asleep, keeping her shoes off the furniture, little things like that. After the way she treated me a while back I almost hate this kid. Like, I am realizing she is not the person I thought she was and it scares the shit outta me that she is only 13 and is that fake.
