The problem is that they have not liked me since the day that they met me as their dad's girlfriend. He & I have been married now for 5 years, and my relationship with his girls has only gotten worse. I try to make myself scarce when they visit and my husband is getting tired of it (although he keeps it all inside). The girls do not talk to me, even when asked a direct question. They are very possessive of their dad and clingy. They won't let him out of their sight, hardly even to go to the bathroom. They have no hobbies or interests so there's no common ground to build on. I know I have some resentment toward them because of issues from my relationship with my father, who I never even knew until I was an adult, then shortly after that he committed suicide. I need to learn how to accept and love the girls and them me, but I don't know how to do this. This situation must improve or our marriage will suffer and I don't want that. I cannot afford counseling
