Usually when a child plays with fire they don't burn the house down. But sometimes they do. Assuming the usual isn't a good idea when the cost of being wrong is so heartbreakingly high. | |

(And I'm not qualified) However my personal experience is that kids who are jelous talk louder than what they actually mean. And giving them a chance to bond improves the situation and being scared/defensive fuels their fear of being replaced by the cute baby's. Maybe after the twins were born it's too late. But the poster will have lost a stepdaughter. There is a lot of shades of grey possible between perfect and psychopath (and again that is my personal experience) | |

Whew this is why people need to seek professional consultation on serious issues. 11 is old enough to know better. The armchair psychology about what the girl is thinking or feeling is purely speculative without some kind of professional psychology screening."Probably isn't a psychopath" probably isn't the correct term to be throwing around even if the kid is suffering from a disorder. I strongly disagree with the answer for the reasons stated. | |
