Message: <blockquote data-quote="Helgatron" data-source="post: 2589821" data-attributes="member: 569638">My stepdaughter is still in the hospital being taught her diabetes management after being diagnosed with t1d 5 days ago. This is a shock to all of us, of course. But I feel like the wicked step mother...we have never been close, and now I feel resentment toward her. She is an only child and was never close to her bio mother either. She has bonded with her Dad to the point where she seems protective of anyone getting close to him. Long story. Anyway, now everything is overwhelming for them and I really dont want to step in and get involved in it. They are getting intensive in-hospital instructions, and since I dont speak their language Im not included. Has anyone overcome a problem like this? Family counseling would be great but, I dont speak the native language in this country yet.  Thanks for any feedback</blockquote>
