I have happily been with my husband for 9 years, married for four. His daughter, with his ex was just 6 months old when we started dating. In the beginning when she was little we got along just fine. I loved having her around, despite the tension surrounding her mother at the time. When my SD was 2, we welcomed our daughter into the world and the girls got along great for the first 3-4 years. Then issues with my SD stated coming to light and she was caught by me, attempting to do 'inappripriate' things to my daughter. My entire relatinship with her instantly changed. Two years ago she was diagnosed with ADHD and there were tond of signs before and after the diagnosis that something was/is wrong with her. Unfortunately ADHD is not what I would say she has...she has all the signs and symptoms of Sociopathic behaviour and that scares me. She's now 9 years old and .....I don't like her. She spends every other week with us and I dread it. My husband even dreads it due to the continuing issues with her behaviour. I have never really admitted to my husband that I can't stand my SD, but I don't hide things well. I want desperately for her to not be here but that would affect my husband and our daughter. I just don't have a clue what to do, but it causes me an enormous amount of stress. I love my husband more than life, and I don't want to jeopardize our family, so I keep it all inside and just tough it out. But I just want her to go home to her mother and stay there! I'm so horible

I agree with Lo, intensive counseling for her sounds like a good idea, as does digging deeper into what happens at BM's (biological mother's) house. You're not horrible. What would be horrible is her not receiving any help for the obviously deep underlying issues she has.
