S.C.
hello first I'm sorry denise decided to pass judgment without knowing you, we all have problems and that's why we are here. if I were you I would tell that 8 yr old, look! I know you already have amom, I by no means am trying to replace her, even though I am not your mom, I am an adult and you WILL respect me in my home. I would like a relationship with you but it's a two way street I need help. I would also have a serious talk with your signifigant other and tell himhis daughter is being disrespectful and if you want this to be our home and our life I need you to back me up. Tyry to find some sort of common ground witht his kid, and if all else fails you said ur on really good terms with her mother?? talk to her let her know you respect her and the only thing your trying to do is be her daughter's friend, you love or care deeply for your b/f and she is a part of him. she'll come around, good luck!
