My stepdaughter ghosted us after years of favors — her mom is heartbroken, I’m angry

A stepfather says his wife's eldest daughter has been needy for years and recently ghosted them, leaving the mother heartbroken and him angry.

Dear Eric: I met my wife about 20 years ago. Her three kids at the time were young to late teens.

The oldest, a daughter, has always been needy and played the victim. Over the years, we have given her a car; driven her to work before she got her license; gave her a living room set when she ran off and got married; drove three states away to pick her up when that husband got thrown in jail; bailed her out of jail when she and her second husband got thrown in jail; let her live with us rent free. The list goes on.
