Background:
I'm remarried but had custody of my daughter for 9 years now and my wife and I married when the daughter is 2. We now have 2 other daughters together and i have a 4th from a previous marraige. Within the last year my daughter has giving my wife so much attitude of not listening and going as saying she doesn't want to listen to anyone.
At first she would listen to me but now chooses also not to listen. She is seeing a therapist who says she has a conduct disorder.
Therapy is not helping and she still continues to not listen to anyone or myself.
I have explained to her what an unruly child is and had an officer over, with no change. She says she doesn't care and admits she told the officer what he wanted to hear so she wouldn't get into trouble.
My wife is so stressed out now that she doesn't look forward to when school lets out at the end of the day. My daughter has gotten to the point that she likes to keep to herself mostly and has the same attitude when she goes to visit her biological mom also.
