I've been apart of her life since she was 6, she is now 14. The ex wife and I don't get along. From day one I have never pressured my stepdaughter in loving me and so forth, I let her at her own pace accept me as being apart of her life. we slowly became very close over time. I have always been there to help when she needed it.Well, the problem lies with the ex, she can not stand me being in her daughters life. She constantly tells me I'm not her mother, and my response back is, "no, I'm not, you are her mother" So I have NEVER tried to take that place. because it is not mine to take. After many conversations with the ex, she still don't get it. I'm not taking her place, nor do I want to. I feel my stepdaughter should have her mother. I am just on the sidelines if needed. I am a parent figure in her life, but no bad has come to her. I can't figure out why the ex won't accept me in the role I'm playing. I love her daughter, respect her and treat her good. I'm not some mean nasty woman!
