Dear Queenie,
I have a daughter that I love, but I don’t like her very much because of the ways she reminds me of her father, my ex-husband.
Now I’m married again and we have a daughter together who is just the opposite of her older sister and I both love and like the younger girl.
Queenie, I’m so ashamed of the different ways I feel about the 2 girls. What can I do about it?—Sorry mother
Dear Mother,
The way your older daughter behaves may be a result of the way you treat her, and if you make a special effort to be more demonstrative toward her, hug her more often and show her that you really do love her, she may change the ways she behaves that you do not like. It may be difficult at first, but I am sure it will be effective in the long run.
