Right and that comes in part of don’t comprise, don’t be like “yeah you can sleep with one boy but not 2” you have to shut that kinda stuff down and act like a parent, even if the kid hates you today, they will love you again tomorrow. Comprising because you want them to see you as your friend leads them down a path of “f it they ain’t gonna do nothing worth remembering”

Yeah, she's had a rough life. Her biological father is a paranoid schizophrenic who's been in and out of prison and rehab her entire life.
Create distance. Get her emancipated, committed, put her in a military school or group home…something.

She’s gonna drag you, your family, and your assets into her bullshite. And she isn’t even your kid?

No fricking thanks. She can go be a dirt merchant with her real dad.

Yeah. Sounds like the apple fell close to the tree. Kinda sucks since you seem to care. Will always be a tough road for her. If she uses her dad as an excuse, then she always will. Good luck with fixing that.

She needs a mental health evaluation. There are several conditions that result in the behavior that you have described.

Start getting into all the stuff she’s into, then it won’t be cool to her anymore. You need to start vaping excessively, right now.

There is something serious mentally going on with your daughter. She needs professional counseling. I’m not a counselor, but I have a daughter who is struggling through some mental health issues and what you’re describing... cutting herself, sneaking out, lying, potentially sexually active... are all questions asked on the parent and self evaluation forms.

If she has a doctor she’s been seeing since youth contact them and explain the situation, they may want to see her, but they can certainly recommend a therapist. Depending on what she has she may need to see a few. Just get her the help she needs and eliminate her free time/social outings until you understand the situation.

If your wife continues to be oblivious, she’s probably part of the problem. Good luck and god bless you all.

I feel your pain brother, my 16 year old son has been lying and vaping. It got so bad last year they wanted to send him to alternative school. I tried to scare him and tell him every one in there was an Aggie fan and he would get butt raped by some hood dude. I have stayed on his butt since, he seems to have calmed down this summer. Maybe he is just saving up for school to start. Although he did back into our garbage can by the road and told his brothers friend and parents that he wasn’t going to tell us and we could find out on our own.

You need to straighten your wife out. You better get control of your daughter or she will be a homeless meth head. Kids these days get coddled to much

I have been looking at the comments, a lot of people suggest counseling; but sad to say, a lot of counselors today are worthless! Remember, a lot of these so-called professionals today are the same people taught and believe in everything from critical race theory to 27 genders!
I suggest you have a serious heart to heart talk with your daughter on reality of her actions. Your wife also needs to be 100% behind you- if the two of you cannot agree on possible drastic disciplinary actions that may be required, then you will 'lose' your daughter and your marriage will also likely turn to the shitter...
