DEAR DEIDRE: ACCORDING to the daughter of my husband, I shouldn’t be with her dad because I am horrible to him.
She hates me. She is 14 and moved in with us because her mum couldn’t cope after being hit by her.

She is behaving badly at both school and home. She refuses to help with chores and is very messy and rude.
I caught her lying but when I confronted her she stormed off upstairs and slammed the bedroom door in a huff.
I am 38 and my husband is 42. I have a nine-year-old son from a previous relationship and I’ve just found out that I am pregnant.
My husband won’t see any bad in her. He just thinks I am moaning but I worry my marriage is at risk if things continue as they are.

DEIDRE SAYS: This is not the behaviour of a happy girl. Raising your voice and getting angry with her won’t help.
If anything, it’ll make her behaviour worse.
