I did have an ah-ha! moment today when I realized that when I was pouring my rage onto my step daughter that I was really pouring it onto my husband.
Now I am trying to disengage myself. I feel badly that this was sprung on her all in one go. it's been building up in me since August, but has had nowhere to go, as it had a dead end being communicated to her dad.
I am not worried about her behaviour - that is something she has to deal with in her own time, when she is ready, if ever. I also have confidence that my husband and I can make this journey together. I know he "gets it", even if he isn't acting upon it right now.
What a weird day it's been.
