I am in a relationship with a man who has an 18 year old daughter. We have been together three years and in all that time I have tried so hard to get on with her. She gives me a few words here and there, doesn't make eye contact and never has asked me anything about my life. I have given her birthday, christmas and easter presents with little or no thanks. I am at my wits end. My partner doesn't seem to think there is a problem and that she is fine! Her mother is a nasty alcoholic and doesn't get on with many people. I am thinking she has told her daughter lies about me and that I was the cause of their marriage breakup. My partner wanted the marriage to work but she was abusive to him and alienated everyonne with her abuse and drinking and they were unhappy for years until he had to leave. Surely the daughter must have some idea about her mother's behaviour. I feel sad that it is this way. My partner wants me to move in with him but I don't really want to while this is hanging over our heads. I don't expect her to fall all over me but she could at least make an effort so we could be friends of sorts. I never judge her. I just ask her how she is, how her job is etc just to be friendly but I feel so awkward with her. What do others think and how should I handle this? Thanks for your replies. ↓
