...maybe it's better if you just walk away from this situation entirely. Even though you could do Anna a world of good by encouraging her father to get her examined, you would have to be a much nicer person than you are. You lack even the most basic, normal sympathy or caring for what she's been through and what might happen to her. As well, you are obviously jealous as hell that she has had "everything" and your non-rich, oh-so-did-it-all-on-my-own self has "not." (Do you _really_ think her having money can make up for her mentally-ill mother, neglectful dad, and lack of life skills? That's just bone-chillingly cold-blooded, to say the least.) I strongly suspect other posters are right--you are after this guy for his cash flow and the perfect life that can give you, and you have no tolerance for anything nearly as messy as a teen stepdaughter, especially one with emotional problems.
