Stepdaughter helpš©
Her dad and I have no idea what to do. Sheās basically a teen but from what people have told me...her behavior isnāt normal. Sheās told me stuff about her mother before, Iām not sure how true it was and if it was true, thereās never been āproof.ā Sheās told me that her mother has smacked her before but covered it up with makeup. Sheās told me quite a few times she wants to live here but doesnāt want to talk to her mother because of that and she says she gets yelled at and gets told sheās not old enough or mature enough to decide on something like that..so she just wants to give up. We mentioned her wanting to come over more a few months ago to her mother but it went no where. She told me the conversation that happened and she didnāt want to get in trouble for disagreeing with mom.
So, she hasnāt been getting up to her alarm so we gave her an earlier bedtime and she still doesnāt get up to it. This morning I walked into her room to wake her up, she got an attitude and I told her she needed to get up. She crossed her arms and crossed her legs and said, āIāll get up when you leave!ā I told her she needed to get up then Iād leave (wanted to make sure she got up). She stood up and crossed her arms, I put my hands on her arms and told her she needed to calm down and lose the attitude. Then she flung her arms up and shoved me across her room. Then tried to say it was self defense and I tried to choke her.š¤·š»āāļøš¤·š»āāļø I said, no, I had my hands on your arms, you flung your arms then my hands slid up. If I was trying to choke you, youād know. Iāve never tried to choke anyone in my life. ...we were in the kitchen and I asked why she thought I was trying to choke her and showed her exactly what happened again. I mean, I get it from stuff sheās told me about her mom but why would she think Iād do that? She said, well, I didnāt do anything when mom did that stuff bc I didnāt know what she was going to do. ..... Iām just at a loss and have no clue what to do. Considered bringing it up to her mom but donāt want to find out what would happen and make me feel bad about telling her.
