Is it normal to not feel bonded?

confused_party_of_1's picture

I don't feel bonded to my SD10 and have been in her life for 3 years. She still grosses me out. She runs to her BM and reports everything we do. She is argumentative and disrespectful. My DH claims she thinks the world of me. .. but I don't see it. I definitely don't feel it from my side. I don't look forward to our shared parenting time and actually get more excited for her to leave. If I had things my way, I'd give up custody to her BM.... and let BM continue to screw up her own daughter's life.

Why is everything an argument?

Why is everything an argument with my 9yo SD? She has been diagnosed with ADD by two different professionals...she is loud, argumentative, disrespectful to authority, and extremely impulsive. Her BM won't put her on medication like the doctors recommended....and it looks like we are going to have to go to court over it.

Frustrating thing is...that until then, I am CONSTANTLY arguing with her. My SD always has to have the last word. I'm not sure if it's an impulse thing and tied to ADD... or if she is just being a brat?
