How to gew

[Andruha]

I am 43 years old and I have a 27 year old girlfriend with a 4 year old daughter. I am English and my girlfriend is Russian. For the past 3 years the daughter has lived with my girlfriends parents because my girlfriend needs to work and study and is unable to support and look after her. She visits her daughter every 2 to 3 months and typically spends a week at a time with her. My girlfriend's daughter has no contact with her real father. My girlfriend recently visited her parents and spent a week with her daughter after which she returned to the city where she lives with her daughter so that I could meet her and spend time with them both. Unfortunately her daughter appears to be extremely jealous of me and constantly says she is afraid of me despite my absolute kindness and concern for her. If I hug or kiss my girlfriend in front of her she either crys, runs away or pulls us apart. She will not hold my hand, allow me to hand her anything or accept any form of help from me. So far I have spent a day out with my girlfriend and daughter together five times over a period of 10 days but my girlfriends daughter's behaviour remains the same. My girlfriend and I are keen to live together as a family. How can we get my girlfriends daughter to like me and accept me?
