I found this forum today and I was so relieved to find that I was not alone in the problems I am having with my stepdaughter.

I need some advice and I wanted to ask fellow stepparents who understand how children can emotionally blackmail their parents what I should do in this situation. I especially need advice on how to convince my husband to put our marriage first and that he needs to get rid of this girl for the sake of the rest of the family.

This is a rather complicated, and I’m embarrassed to talk about this to any of my friends.
