Things seem to cool down when my stepdaughter is not with us for a few days. But there has been some yelling since then. I can’t say that I’m not guilty of it either. It’s possibly a defense mechanism to guard my integrity and dignity. We have also had some improvement even when my stepdaughter is with us. I think what bothers me the most is when I see that he coddles her and allows her to get away with certain things. I believe is because he tries to compensate for working so much and not seeing her enough which I understand but it doesn’t make it right.
