Is it normal to be intimidated by your huge teenage stepdaughter
I've been married for ten years. When I married my husband, his daughter was 7. Now she's 17 and if very hard to control. I'm really small. I'm 4'10 96 lbs. My stepdaughter is 5'10 150. I would not have a problem with this except for her attitude. She rebels against her father, smokes, drinks, typical teenage stuff. Her fatter went away on business and I had her for a week. It's summer so she's out every night. She does whatever she wants. I told her to be home by 2 as that's her curfew her father sets. Never cane home. She gets home next day and I'm mad and she gets in my face and basically tells me to butt out. When I said dont talk to me like that, she put get arm around my neck, lightly, and pushed me against wall and said leave me alone and we wont have any problems. I tried to break free and I could not budge her arm. For the first time, i got scared as if she could have broken me in half. I'm the mom she is the daughter and she is twice my size and much stronger and I told her dad and he laughed it off. He doesn't realize how easily his daughter can hurt me. Now, I'm just terrified all the time of her and I leave her alone. Is this normal? Does this ever happen where a girl outgrows her mom or stepmom and intimidates her?
