[QUOTE="Andy, post: 338487, member: 5096"] I totally understand how you are feeling toward your step daughter. I don't have any answers just to say that it looks like step daughter is not happy with having two older siblings brought into her life. She sounds very insecure and her dad is feeding into that insecurity by allowing her to present her side and not asking you how you see things. My guess is the 16 yr old is your daughter - a prime target for an insecure 15 year old girl. And I would think it fine if the 18 yr old (your son?) doesn't want to talk to his step sister if her attitude toward him is also unkind. Perhaps even crude? (I know how nasty 15 yr old girls can get). Your husband needs to tell his daughter to stay away from the 18 yr old. She knows how to get daddy's attention doesn't she? She has him wrapped around her finger. With dad leaving little sister out of outings, he is also giving his older daughter power. Sending her the message that she is more important. Are many of these outtings by any chance 15 year old's plans and dad isn't saying, "I want to spend time with your sister also. We have to do things the three of us can do together." Does little sister act out? I have a neighbor down the road whose dad spends all his time with the daughter and it doesn't look like much with the much younger son. That younger son is displaying such unacceptable behaviors that SCREAM that he is looking for attention from his dad (such as wanting to wear his sister's clothes and do things that she does). Sounds like dad needs a wake up call. Has the 15 year old been tested or diagnosed with any medical problems? You didn't mention anything. Forgive me if I am totally off the mark here. I only know what you have typed and I know not everything can be included from you. Let me know if anything sounds terribly wrong in my reply - that will also help us to see your situation better.
