[QUOTE="Bob5000, post: 759054, member: 26194"] I agree with the part of it being a power play as well. I think she feels like her ranking in the household may have been "bumped down" when I came into the picture. I've tried to talk to her about that and it always ends in emotional breakdowns from her. Her dad left when she was a baby and she now sees him through visits at his parent's house (her grandparents house) once in a while. He's very infrequent with visits and often keeps them short. She's not much into sports but LOVES art and all things creative. She applies a lot of her free time to making things. I'm actually a professional artist myself and tried to get her to work on fun projects with me but she chooses not to. Thanks for the input as well. My girlfriend, Valerie and I are both reading these responses and they've been really helpful so far and I really appreciate the encouraging words. [/QUOTE]
