Been there, Kim! My wild child niece, turned into the best mom, doting wife, immaculate housekeeper, school volunteer... a different person. Recently, she even thanked me (and my mom) for everything we did for her. (she lived here for years and I raised her like a daughter until she went back to her own mom). I'm thrilled your relationship with your stepdaughter is such an improvement. I know it makes you so happy.
