So my husband and I have been married for nearly three years now. I also have a 13-year-old daughter and she and my husband have gotten along pretty well so far. Recently however, he has been rather aggressively pressuring my daughter to drink alcohol. Whenever he makes a cocktail he’ll mix her one too. Of course, I immediately confiscate the beverage.
At first I thought he was joking, but it’s been happening more and more frequently. The other day I came home from work I could have sworn my daughter was intoxicated. I asked her about it later and she was being suspiciously evasive with her answers.
Why would my husband be pressuring his own step-daughter to drink with him? I asked him about it directly but he just laughed my question off. If he’s serious about this, how can I prevent him from corrupting my daughter?
Thanks and God bless.
