My bf's 14 yr old daughter is such a brat but it's not entirely her fault. Her mother puts things in her head about me and she repeats it to her father. She has said that I am a bad mother and I don't have anything to do with my son. I don't know why they say horrible things about me because I have never spoken to her mother and I have been nothing but good to his children. I took pictures of this girls middle school prom and put them together as a digital album and sent them to her. I also picked up an Ed Hardy Tshirt for her just because I thought she would like it and she did. She was so excited to get that shirt and thanked me several times. We used to pal around at ball games and laugh and joke about everything.
My bf has decided to take their mother back to court again. He has had her in court several times trying to get custody of the children. Their mother is addicted to pain medication through her own fault. She was never prescribed them by a physician. She also leaves the children at home alone while she does whatever it is she does. She also doesn't pay the utility bills and they are constantly without electricity and water. She is currently driving on a suspended license. She has allowed their 14 yr old daughter to drive her vehicle with friends late at night. She is not old enough to have a driver's license. The ex also embezzled money from the kids little league and was arrested. This is only the tip of the iceberg. She is really a piece of work and my bf thinks his children will be better off with him, as do I.
The rude and nasty comments started after the ex was served her papers to appear in court. I plan on going to court with my bf this Thursday for support. I helped my bf discover evidence against his ex. I have a legal degree and I love him, so I will help him anyway that I can.
I have talked with my bf about how his daughter acts towards me and he has spoken with her and told her that she doesn't know what she is talking about and she should get her facts straight before she mouths off about stuff. He takes up for me every time she bad mouths me because it makes him angry and he knows me. I have raised my son as a single mother since the day he was born. My parents help me when I have to work, but he's with me all the time and we have a wonderful life.
Even though my bf has told his daughter not to speak ill of me, she continues to say whatever she wants and none of it is true. Her mother encourages it! I finally posted some information about myself on her Facebook wall. I feel like she is misinformed about me, so she needed me to clear things up. I told her a little bit about myself and my situation raising my son and how hard it is to raise children alone and help is needed. I also told her that if she felt like she needed to know something about me to just ask and I will tell her because I have nothing to hide. I wasn't mean or nasty like she and her mother are. I was just informative. I told my bf that I posted it and he was fine with it. He said she needs to hear it.
My question is, why did she suddenly turn on me and what am I supposed to do? I know she probably feels threatened and is loyal to her mother, no matter how much of a piece of crap her mother is. I also realize that she is confused and is very impressionable. I have let this go for a long time and finally broke today when I posted on her wall.
