Hi,I'm new here. A year ago I was living with my DS, DH and DSS.We had a lot of problems with DSS attitude but with time it improved.Then SD arrived suddenly after she fell out with her Mum. It soon dawned that SD wasnt a very nice person. She soon started upsetting everyone with her attitude even though we all bent over to make her welcome despite changes to our home, our lives, not to mention the huge financial impact. Because her Dad was glad to have her back she could do what she likes and treat anyone how she wanted to. It ended in a row whenever I spoke about it to DH. On top of that we now know she is a self harmer, has counselling and anti depressants (she is 15). So now it is impossible to raise any issues at all about her. She has made it clear she wants nothing to do with me or my DS who is a lovely boy and it is making him miserable which adds to my pain. My marriage is failing as a result and I am depressed. I believe I am a self harmer too.Is her happiness more important than the rest of us? Hope someone can give me some sympathetic advice. Thanks
