    I am a dad of two girls. My 13 year old is horrible, mean and nasty. I haven't even seen her now for nearly a year, but not because there is something actually wrong. The mum turned her against me and even helps her write letters to me. Regardless she has a choice and no one is holding her hand to write the nasty things she does. I don't hate my daughter and I understand she is manipulated heavily by my ex, but it doesn't fair well for a healthy future relationship as we've reached an impasse. She needs to now see things for what they truly are and be humble. I don't think she can do this for at least another 5 years or more. Her younger sister is different but still heavily influenced. I have remarried (6 months) and have been separated for over 5 years. I am the dad and regardless of hormones I choose what I find acceptable that is my role, no different to the mothers. The sooner children learn there are consequences to actions, the sooner they learn true value of their parents. If they are incapable of such a basic act then it's best to keep an eye on them but not a focus. 'Hate' is a strong word but this is the best place to vent, and I understand.

      I'm not sure what the state laws are where you live, but I think some serious intervention is needed, as well as court ordered therapy for the kids. That's real messed up, her helping write nasty letters. I hope you save them to show a lawyer/judge/therapist.. I know her hand is not forced, but kids' minds can be very manipulated at this age, just like any other. They have this whole "frontal lobe" thing..( it's real, lol, you should look it up :) ..) that really makes them quite stupid! I wish you all the luck in the world for this issue to get better!!

    For god's sake! She's thirteen! Teenagers are swarming with hormones, you don't just give up on family. Put yourself in her shoes. Her mother hates her, obviously favors the other children over her, her father left, and now her mom is writing about how she hates her. Seriously, wake the F*** up! She is your duty, if you want her to have a better life, do something about it! Take initiative people!

      Im very aware of "how old" my daughter is. I'm also aware that hormones have a big role to play in how a person reacts to things, as is proven by your own response to my story. I've been in such unbelievably worse positions than her growing up, to the point, that I won't even bother to indulge you with the details.What I'd like to know is, how the hell do you get out of this story that I don't accept her as my duty and responsibility? I go above and beyond for her, more than necessary by most people's standards, and what I was TRYING to express, but obviously failed to do so according to you, is express how unappreciative and resentful she is of my efforts because it makes her biological father look bad. I also wrote that these are the THINGS I hate about her, not that I hate HER as a person, as a whole, as my DAUGHTER. Are you in LOVE with every little aspect of your family or friends behaviors? By the aggression in your response post, I would guess no and that you have some deep underlying issues yourself.
      I think you failed to understand as well, that this behavior didn't JUST start. It has been going on since I left him, and her behavior issues started almost immediately once unsupervised visitation was granted to her father.
      Other than EVERY OTHER GOD DAMN THING that I'm doing already, what do you suggest, oh wise one? She's currently home-schooled, enrolled in art club, taking violin lessons, is an assistant director to a play being put on by a city music teacher, as well as starting her own babysitting business, because these are the things SHE WANTS TO DO - and why would I say no? They are all healthy facets of her life. I give her everything I can possibly afford to, whether it be financially, my time, an ear for her voice, a voice when she feels she has none, and a friend when none of hers are around. She receives A LOT of love in this household, don't get it twisted, and she is VERY much appreciated. Let me s-p-e-l-l it out for you. The ISSUE is the way she treats me when it comes to her biological father and his family. Should I apologize for venting?

    Troubled teen age years, wernt that long ago for me... so ill keep this short and sweet. All you really can do is let her fly out of the nest only to realize theres bigger things out there that can harm her... for an example your ex and his family.... Yes i am telling you to let her go, and hopefully she is bright enough to wake up and realize what horrible people they are and come back to you.

      My aunt took my cousin to south America for a charity movement for orphans and abused, and it totally changed her. She realized the important things in life.

      I have been thinking about something along those lines.. having her see the positions that others have to live with, whether it be by fault of their own, or not. I'm hoping to enrich her sense of humility and appreciation for all she has. I'm going to think more on this, thanks guys :)

    Do yourself a favor and do not get anymore emotional attached to her than you already have. In our society we beleave that has parents we have to love our children and their lives are so much more important than ours. But this is very misleading and can be a bad way of viewing yourself and children. Just remember you are the person who has sacrificed your life for her, not the other way around. Be good to yourself and do your best to respect your childs feelings, but do not put yourself on a emotional roller coaster over her or your exes selfish and cowardly family. In 5 years she will be a adult and speaking from experience your best bet is to cut ties with all of them and try and start a new life around people who appriceate and love you for the person you are. If she is foolish enough to beleave these people there unfortunately is not much you can do about that, but you can move on and meet new people to get your mine off these haters.

      It's extremely hard to not get attached to my kids :) It's my nature to see myself in them, and remember that I was that age too once (although not exactly the B she has the capability of being!) I do feel strongly about what you say about seeing her life as so much more important as mine. Although she is my responsibility, and not able to care for herself, although she'd like to think so, I need to do more things JUST for me. As it is, my boyfriend and I have not been on a date in close to a year. Our alone time is grocery shopping! And while I love even having that time, it would be nice to do something together because we WANT to, not just because we happen to be alone while on errands, or doing housework...
      I think because I don't value myself enough, and especially with the way the "others" don't respect me, it seems as though she's accepted that this is the way I'm just to be treated. My boyfriend, who for all intents and purposes IS her father in every way except for biologically, is very loyal, appreciative, has a great sense of humor, and is unbelievably supportive of me, and very, VERY realistic with this issue, and remains devoted and loving to her, as I would expect nothing less. I think I DO need to separate myself from her "universe" a bit, and maybe she'll realize I'm more than just "the mother", but an actual human being with emotions that run just as deep as hers.

    My daughter is 14 and has done much worst. I know how you feel, I almost want to forget I even have a daughter. She's my only child and I've struggled to support her since her father has never paid child support. I can't believe I actually feel like I hate my child but I do. I honestly do.

      It can be very hard and dis-heartening. Don't ever give up hope, although I know it is easier said than done. The easiest thing is to give up, which is why some parents, whether it be the mother or the father, just walk away. It's a coward's fate. Remember this: There are countless people out there who appreciate your efforts, even if your child doesn't, and that's because your child is not JUST your child, but a member of society in which OTHER people have to deal with her. Never give up, because even when you SWEAR you're failing, the only failure is in not trying <3
