Ok I have started dating a woman who has a 7 year old daughter. When she is around me and her mom she has fun. When she goes to her father and comes back she acts like i am evil, even disrespecting her mom and calling the police on me. When the police showed up she admitted her father and grandmother but her up to it. I am not giving up on this relationship. What do I do?

Well as much as this sucks....YOU can't do anything about her behavior, only her mom can.

That is really jumping the gun (but be warned it can happen!) In that case, never be alone with the girl for sure.

but clearly you value this relationship so I wouldn't give up and walk away. Your SO needs to discipline her daughter and teach her that no matter what is going at her father's house - in her house, she must respect you and any other adult. It starts with your girlfriend/wife.
