I was 19 when I got together with my wife. She was 24 and already had a daughter. Our daughter was 5 at the time - I adopted her - that, and the birth of my youngest, were the happiest days of my life. I am now 30, and the daughter I adpoted is about to turn 16. It is a difficult time - not only because of teenage years, but I think because of abandonment issues. She is only nice when she wants something, and is basically a %#%$ when things don't go her way. I guess my question is, has anyone else out there gone through this and had similar happenstances? (I love her to death, don't get me wrong.)
