I feel so lonely today. My partners daughter is coming to stay with us in 3 days time and she's staying for 4 nights. I'm dreading it and keep getting tearful. She's recently been caught out at playing me, her dad and her mum off against each other and blames me. She hits me, kicks me under the table so her dad can't see, stamps on my feet when her dads out of sight, glares at me all the time, won't do as she's asked and lies about me. She's started taking it out on my animals - she kicks my cat who is only 6 months old and has just had an operation, she has tried to let my rabbits out of the hutch purely just to upset me. I feel as though I cant take anymore. I don't want to be in my home anymore because it doesnt feel like my home! I don't like her, don't want to see her and I feel guilty for feeling this way as she's only 4. When I tell my partner how I feel he says he understands but how can he - she's his daughter. He still wants to see her, still loves her, has a bond with her, still wants to do nice things with her. I feel like I'm the only 1 who is suffering as she's quite happy because 'daddy still does nice things with her' although he tells her off. I feel angry that I cant feel the way he does. All I feel is anger hurt and upset. He says to me he believes I love her deep down but I feel that what love I felt for her as vanished like something has broken inside of me and it can't be fixed. She's making my life hell and I feel like I can't go back. My life feels like a constant battle - when she's here i battle with her and have to put up with being physically and mentally hurt and when she's not here I battle with my emotions and how I feel towards her.
