WHOA! sit the step-daughter down and explain what is happening to you. Maybe make boundaries: she keeps her living area clean/not, she deals with her laundry and cooks a few times a week ....... what ever fits into your Life-style? She is the visitor after all. She is now an adult, used to doing her own thing in her own time

but this is your house so Rules still apply. Your husband should be on YOUR side

. What's the worst that can happen? This should have been discussed with her father prior to her return but now you need to explain to him what you require in order to help at this time. Maybe print off 'hints fo husbands" from here? Hand to them both!
It won't go away, it's The Change. Why do you need to pay for a Consult? your GP should be able to refer you to a menopause clinic or appropriate Gynae Consultant.
