Second Marriage Coming Soon But Major problems with his daughter?

ive been divorced for almost five years now. but i met somebody about a year ago and we just got engaged. it was a tough four years but things are looking up. but there's one major issue. howie's daughter is giving me a lot of flack and its gotten worse since we got engaged and we saw here tonight for new years eve and there were more digs. here's the thing. she's my age! howie is 24 years older than me. there's some hisotry here. we went to high school together. we weren't friends. tontally different crowd. there was no dislike between us. but we werent friends. do you think the age difference is odd? i dont. he makes me happy. i just dont know what to do about her. i dont want to come between them. but she is pushing me. he has said some nasty things. do you think she doesnt lke the fact that im her age. most of her nastiness, but not all, is about $. this may not sound so good on the surface. my divorce nearly destroyed me financailly. i had a son with him and he basically just disappeared. i was in MAJOR debt. she knew that to an extent. howie completely bailed me out. i didnt ask him to do that. honestly i did not. he wanted to do it. she doesn't know all those details. but i think she thinks her dads' $ is her $ and that im somehow stealing her share. you think her fathers $ is her $? here's my basic question: do i continue to take the high road. or do I act like a *****. since she thinks i am anyway. if i wanted to, i could prolly make her life miserable.
