Step mom dealing with teen
Hi everyone!
So I messed up big time!
I love my step daughter so much and our relationship has been very rock since her real mom hates me just for being married to her ex. I did something to break my step daughters trust not intentionally and now I don't know what to do or how to mend it! She 15 years old and alway in different moods.
HELP!

Speaking as a stepmom myself, I know the teen years can be tumultuous for both you and your stepdaughter. It sounds like you've love her a great deal and want to have a close relationship with her. Have you had the opportunity to sit down and talk to her? Would it be best for you and your husband to speak with her together or do you feel like a 1-1 talk would be best? Sometimes, hearing her perspective and thoughts can help you discover some ways she'd appreciate in earning back her trust. It can take time to rebuild a bond after trust has been broken. I know it can be difficult to wait while she begins to trust you again. In the long run, she may appreciate your efforts to get through this situation and could possibly deepen your bond over time.
