just suggest to her people have problems tell her that she doesn't have to be rude to you spend some one on one time with her tell her you want to be there for her through thick and thin ask her if she would like to spend time with you you want her to beable to talk with you
merging family's can sometimes be tough but i would just talk to her and see if she will open up she might feel like she needs someone to talk to if she docent no anyone yet maybe you could be that someone if she has an interest art sports.... you could sign her up for something so she could make new friends or if your daughter and her are close in age maybe introduce her to some of your daughters friends she might just be blaming you because there is so much change happening all at once and it might take her time to warm up to you
Your welcome I'm glad I could help
