While I slept, My Stepdaughter Took Pictures of Me.
I have no idea what to do. It's really scary for me right now. It looks like my stepdaughter has been photographing me while I sleep. Please help me.
To go back a bit: I married my husband, whom we'll call "Daniel," six months ago. He has a daughter named "Anna" from a past marriage (13F). I don't have any kids. I've never gotten along with Anna. Things have gotten much worse since we got married a few months ago.
She used to not care about me. She is now openly hostile. My favourite shoes had paint on them. She "accidentally" used one of my favourite T-shirts to wipe down the counter. What kind of black ink did she spill on our bed? Maybe it was during an art project or something.
Daniel has talked to her now. Over and over. He hasn't really punished her, though. I keep telling him that she needs to see what happens when she does bad things, but he's too nice to actually ground her, take away her phone, etc. He keeps telling me, "She's having a hard time." "Please leave her alone for a few months."
I tried to forget about it. Things got worse after that.
Daniel was away for three days on work, so Anna was in my full care. She turned it up to 11. She wore one of my earrings when she came down the stairs for the first time.
