hi, Im a step mom, not an evil one either. my step-daughter is having a really rough time right now cause her "mother" acts more like a child than she does. she says mean things to her and talks down to her and tries to make her feel bad about herself. tells her she's stupid and dress's like a slut and she's stupid and ugly. I don't always know what to do for her. I love her as if she was my own daughter. she gets so angry sometimes and says and does mean things. I know it is because she is so very hurt inside. I have no clue why her "mom" would do and say these things and we are going to go for counseling. I KNOW her "mom" is the problem. I am the only adult 100% behind her. how do I stay 100% behind her and still be her Mom?, because she needs one........
Thanx, Ally
Thanx, Ally

tell her. she might be angry at first and give you the whole "you're not my real mom" thing, but in the end she'll realise what a real mom is. it's someone who loves you unconditionally, cares for you, teaches you, stands up for you when you need it. if she really wants help, she notice...she'll be able to tell her mom and love you for being there...at least, that's the way it should happen in my mind. good luck!

first thanks for replying. second, she would never say that, she has told my friends that I am more of a mom to her than her mom has ever been. I just worry about losing her and her not having anyone. it's probably an unrealistic fear, and your right if I scold her she does get mad at first but then we are ok in a little bit. I sooooo want her to get on here and talk to you guys but shes like kinda stress free right now cause her "mom" hasnt even called her in over a week, so no drama and I handle any drama here. she has swept it under the rug, she is just enjoying smiling right now, you know? she's gonna need to talk about it soon. thanks again.

Remind her that sometimes adults can be wrong too and when her mum is saying those horrible things, she is simply wrong. She has made a mistake, she thinks those things about her but they are not true. I told my son that when a teacher said he was a bad child (anyone can tell you he is not). It seemed to help him.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
