Parents who dislike, hate, or resent your children. What happened? My son told his friends that I was abusing and bad touching him because he wanted the attention. We were very close. Child services were called and then the police. He stuck to his story. I don't hate him. I never could. Sometimes I'm very angry, but mostly the betrayal gets me. I would never have believed he would do that.

After several awful months, I think it's going to be all right legally, but the legal fees and

stress has been overwhelming. Things will never be the same between us. He is a teenager, by the way.

I remarried a wonderful man, my soulmate, about two years ago. I have two kids of my own, one son and one daughter.

One is fourteen and the other is twenty-one. He has a daughter, she is almost eight.

We met when his daughter was about three and a half.

It's bad to say, but personality-wise she hasn't changed very much for the last four years or so.

I don't necessarily dislike my stepdaughter all the

time. I have just had to distance myself a bit. She has no manners, no respect, she's spoiled,

and will whine until she gets her way. For example, I overheard her tell her great-grandmother to

shut up. I also heard her tell her mom, you are the most disgusting person I've ever met.

When they scold her,

she always tries to say she was just joking, and then she will start to cry and saying,

nobody wants me around and stuff like that. I know this is turning into a long post, and I

apologize. It just has been building up so long. I try my best with her, and I had such high

hopes for a close relationship

with my stepdaughter, but I have found that our personalities clash, and I am used to having

respectful kids. My husband tries his best to make her act right, but every time she goes back to

her moms or her grandparents, it gets worse. They give her everything she wants, no matter what,

and they allow her to talk to them

anyway because she's still little and they may not have any more kids and grandkids. So I don't blame

my husband. I feel bad for him because he's tired of having to be the bad guy all the time. Oh,
