Dear Amy: I have never seen a question like this in any advice column.

She recently married and I thought she would mature, but it hasn’t happened.How do I deal with this constant elephant in the room?Actually, this issue of a partner’s child not accepting a new partner is at least as old as “The Parent Trap.” It surfaces frequently in this space.

The answer here is two-fold: Your boyfriend needs to stop letting his daughter run his life, and you need to stop letting her control you. You should be the elephant in her room — cordial, polite, but overall unconcerned about her behavior.When I confronted him last year and told him I knew everything, he said he doesn’t remember doing it. That’s an odd way to answer the cheating question.Why do I love him? I have no idea.After confronting him last year, I have been losing my hair and have lost 12 pounds all from stress.I have spoken to people about this, including my pastor.

You should physically separate in order to remove yourself from constant triggers and clear your head.You should focus on your mental and physical health. Your body’s reaction to this stress is evidence that it is harming you.
