Dear Welcoming, It sounds like you are in a difficult situation with your stepdaughter Allie. It's understandable that you are feeling hurt and frustrated by her behavior. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to reach out to her is yours to make. If you feel that reaching out to Allie is the right thing to do, then it may be worth trying to mend the relationship. However, if you feel that Allie's behavior is unacceptable and you are not willing to apologize for something you don't feel you have done wrong, then it may be best to focus on your own well-being and the happiness of your husband. Remember, you don't have to tolerate disrespectful behavior from anyone, even family members. It's important to prioritize your own mental and emotional health. Trust your instincts and do what feels right for you. Take care, Abby
