@Loz123 I’m so sorry to hear things have been so challenging for your family lately. It sounds like your stepdaughter is having a really hard time with school and social issues. When you say she’s ‘not caring’, what do you think might be happening for her? Do you think it’s possible she could be feeling depressed or anxious?   I really feel for you when you say you feel caught in the middle between your partner and stepdaughter. When your partner struggles to cope and loses his temper, that sounds really intense. Do you think your partner and stepdaughter would consider either individual or family counselling?   We're so glad you were able to come here and share what's happening for you, it can be really hard to ask for support.
