DEAR DEIDRE: THOUGH I don’t believe her for a minute, my adult daughter has started to accuse my wife of physically abusing her when she was little.
It is devastating. My first wife and I split up more than 20 years ago because she had an affair.
Two years later, I met and married my second wife.
My first wife announced she didn’t want the children, so we took my son, who was seven, and my five-year-old daughter.
She is now heavily into weed, is 26 and works part-time in a shop.
I am 52, my wife is 50 and we live in a small community. My wife has been in tears after hearing rumours.
I recall my daughter got a smack on the bottom once for smashing a clock.
But apart from that, I don’t think my wife ever touched her.
My team and I are working safely from home but we are here to help you as always.

DEIDRE SAYS: Your daughter is a lost soul, trying to make sense of her unsettled early years.
Being rejected by her mum has taken its toll. She is taking out her anger on her stepmum, as she is available. Her mum is not.
To start healing the deep rift in your family, contact National Family Mediation (nfm.org.uk, 0300 4000 636), which helps families in conflict.
