11/22 "Yours, Mine & Ours”
Quote From: debi14I will be sure to watch THIS show. All I heard on the preview was that the new mom feels as if her step-daughter is the "other woman", and that was enough for me. 
 
I have LIVED this nightmare for 18 years, and now, our marriage is over, largely because of the exact same thing. Most mothers will tell you that the kids come first no matter what, but if you haven't ever walked this, you have no idea what it is like. 
 
I hope that other step-moms will step up to the plate and tell their stories. Kids can be so cruel and manipulative in situations like this, and it doesn't get better as they grow older. Most of the time it just gets worse. 
 
Hoping for some valuable insight from Dr. Phil and others, 
 
Debi  I can relate to what you are saying and what this show is about. My husband has full custody of his dtr and she is manipulative towards him and I feel bad saying this but its almost she likes us to argue and trys to get us to. She gets jealous when he sits on the couch with me, by me, touches me and wants him to immedialtly stop and go sit with her and if he dont she will say, "u dont like me". to try to put a guilt trip on him. We have her 24/7, but he is my husband and we never have time alone. She does more but I think you get my point. I have a child prior who lives with us but doesnt act like this.
