i need some serious help. ive been dating the most amazing, funny, handsome hard working man for the past 6 months. he has full custody of his daughter (age and has had her on his own since she was about 6 months. shes a beautiful little girl and can be really sweet......occasionally......

we've moved very quickly in our relationship, basically living together after the first week and i found out i was pregnant after dating for 7 weeks. were all very excited, even his daughter. although were optimistic about our lives together, the pace at which we moved was hard on everyone.

since the beginning of our relationship, his family has warned me about the princesses attitude. warning me not to date the man if i cant tolerate his kid. i really believed that everything was a test, almost.

shed get a little mouthy from time to time, telling me to shut up, or saying that she doesnt have to listen to me, and her father always stands behind me and reinforces that i am someone that she needs to respect and acknowledge as a parent (he was single for years before we met)

as of late, she is so disrespectful.. screams and whines and cries.. calls me and he father names.. her grandmother, mother of 4, step mother of 4, and grandmother of 13 doesnt want to be around her because shes nasty. not that the girl wants to be with a *fat old lady* anyway.

theres times when i tell him to smack her in the face for the things she says and the way she speaks. he doesnt smacks..... and reminds me that i'll see soon enough that kids are like that and its normal.

i remember telling my great grandmother to shut up when i was about 5, she smacked me in the face and i dont think i ever said it again..

regardless, i wish i could post videos on here.. i need to know if her nastiness is *normal* because i dont think it is

her father doesnt believe that emotional problems, depression, bi polarism or any of that is real, even though the little girls mother was diagnosed with them. and is a drug addict (reason why she has no interest in seeing her kid)

i think she may have some sort of imbalance, and ive mentioned the possibility to him. he thinks its ridiculous. but, im really having trouble dealing with her lately.. and thats not very comforting with a baby coming in 4 months.

and my families worried about her hurting the baby, but thats a different story..

i dont know what im asking.. i guess i just want too know if her behavior is normal, or if im crazy. or what to do.

she scares me sometimes and as much as he says he cares, a timeout doesnt make me feel any better it.

ugh.
