How to handle step kids not being happy we’re getting married
I’m engaged to my fiancé. He has two daughters his oldest one that’s 10 years old is nice and sweet and kind and we have a fine bond but she’s not happy or supportive I would say that we’re getting married. She doesn’t do or say anything terrible about it, but she cried when she found out we were engaged and kind of rolled Her eyes indicating that she is not happy were getting married. I do a lot for her and we have a good relationship I would say. She lives with her father and I 50% of the time. We have a Cottage as well that they have their own rooms in. all this to say that I’ve done quite a bit to try and make everyone feel comfortable and welcomed into the family. I totally understand a child wanting their biological parents to be together and maybe she was hoping for that one day. So I don’t hold it against her in anyway, but it’s also my first time getting married. I I approached marriage with intent and I waited until I found the person I actually wanted to marry and didn’t give into any societal pressures to get married simply because everyone else was. I love my fiancé so much and I’m so happy I found him. He truly is my person. I’m wondering how others have handled this. I understand where she is coming from but I also want to protect my peace around this. Getting married is supposed to be a really special time and I’m really hoping to have everyone around me support me and be happy for me and celebrate me. I feel like I deserve that. what have others done in the past to protect their peace when a step kid is obviously not supportive of you?
