daughters who have shitty fathers or fathers that never express their love both physically and verbally typically seek male attention elsewhere.
don't be shitty and the chances of this happening are low

Daughter (14) snuck out of the house the other night to spend the night alone with two boys her age. This coming after she's been cutting herself, stealing from her siblings, vaping excessively, and lying to us the whole time (3+ years).
Show her more attention/get her involved in more activities. If she's constantly doing things she won't have time to be a turd.

So she’s been mutilating herself and vaping since 11?

Those circumstances very rarely end well. Good luck

Well, you should be, but we've all been there. Raise them right, show them whats right. and IMHO take them to church. Kids need to know what is right from two sources. You and the church. They will sooner or later ignore yours, but its tougher to completely ignore 2. Stay involved in their affairs. Stay aware of ALL their friends. If they get involved with a questionable group of friends, end it then and there. Your kid is never "the only good one" in a group of bad kids.

Remind her you love her
My daughter is only 9, but I regularly tell her this and that "there's nothing you could ever do that would make daddy NOT love you."
It'll get poo-pooed by some here and she may rebel at 14, but church (if you're inclined to that) can't hurt.
OP, definitely seek professional counseling for the daughter and the family ASAP!!!
She's headed down a DARK road, prayers!!!

hey brah
assuming you’ve long since abandoned this thread but on the off chance you haven’t, let me tell you what worked for me.
no cutting/etc but we had smoking/drinking/sex/petty theft.
pulled her out of public school and sent her to boarding school at sacred heart in grand coteau. If you are not from here, I’m sure there’s a catholic school for girls where you live
180 degree turnaround in two years, now she’s in a PhD program at an Ivy League school, full ride. The point is, you have to take drastic measures to get drastic change. It was catastrophically traumatic to start and almost immediately got better
Good luck

1) history of familial schizophrenia
2) drug abuse (most likely alcohol as well)
3) lying / hiding issues (even if innocent)
All red flags!
1) possible mental illness requiring different medications.?
Visit a psychiatrist vs a psychologist
2) drug abuse is a bandaid to cover the problem.
What’s the problem?
(Ruling out inheriting mental illness )
Being bullied at school or on social media?
Was she abused by someone?
(My first response)
3) lying…
We all lied to our parents. But WHY did we lie is the question?
To keep yourself out of trouble, keep a friend out of trouble OR if
telling the truth is worse than the “perceived” consequences?
My suggestion Dad…
Ignore the wife & seek professional help (psychiatrist)
GO TO HER SCHOOL speak with her teachers.( without being an arse or her knowing)
take her phone look at all contacts & media basically all communications
As an escape artist in my youth, you can’t keep a child in that doesn’t want to be there.
As a dad….you have to figure out the reason.
All your seeing is the symptoms….
I send you patience, wisdom and the advice to not shoot the 2 boys…..

Her biological father is a paranoid schizophrenic
She might need some professional help, you and her Mom too. Good luck, I hope she gets better.
