No fourteen year old girl is out buying hard drugs by themselves.
That's plain wrong!

Geez. Yeah, i feel for you, man.Any punishment we impose she uses as an excuse to cut herself... I'm just lost with this one.
Trust me man, we've been through alot... nobody "just let's her run wild".Good points.
Yeah, i forgot that TS moved to get the step daughter in a better place.
If she's living in your house, and you're making sacrifices for her, you have to have a say. You're the closest thing to a dad that she has. Blood doesn't mean shit, if it did, her real dad would be there. (Unless he is deceased)
I think TS has an out of control wife. You guys have to do this as a unit. Being quiet about it will just build resentment. I can't imagine living with an out of control teen that im providing for, and i have to put up with her disrespecting me because her mom is being too soft.
Letting a kid run wild doesn't help them. Let them hate you now, and love you later.
She is same way towards them... just doesn't give a fuck...Geez. Yeah, i feel for you, man.
This is more than just a normal rebelious phase.
She ever been diagnosed with any sort of mental issues? Big life tragedies? I wonder if this is all a sort of cry for help,or attention, or she just really doesn't give a fuck?
Is she close with her brothers? Siblings can sometimes reach and understand each other in a way a parent can't.
That last sentence is what I tell her mother all the damn time... but with her cutting she's afraid there will end up being a cut there's no coming back from... it's a fucking nightmare . Seeing what this is doing to my wife is the hardest part...Good points.

I work with students. I’ve seen some really good parents with really messed up kids. Just saying, “Be a better dad” isn’t always helpful. Sure, that COULD be part of the issue, but to just assume it’s the parent’s fault is ridiculous. You need more context.I gave you some good advice. C'mon, you're asking about managing a teenage child on a karate forum. You have to do a lot of improving as a father.
Getting defensive isn't going to solve your problem.
With the information about her cutting, i understand the wife's side more.That last sentence is what I tell her mother all the damn time... but with her cutting she's afraid there will end up being a cut there's no coming back from... it's a fucking nightmare . Seeing what this is doing to my wife is the hardest part...
Fuck that I don't want a daughter I refuse to get another Woman Pregnant. I've got the 1 and I'm good.I'm going out of my mind here!!! Just plain disrespectful and lazy.... raising 3 boys was a cakewalk compared to this!!!
Shit... she'll willingly go to the west of Louisville. Tracked her on her phone over there the last time she ran away...Ok then, how about Gary then? If that's too long a drive then Cinci-nasty or the shadier parts of Louisville.
And you sound like a clueless prick living in your mom's basement. Probably why you're double yellowed lolEver think of leaving your wife? She sounds like a spineless worthless mom
Seemed overnight lolOh man, I have a daughter. Was it a long or slow transition to being a little punk
Numerous counseling... and hospital stays.Have y’all looked into counseling? It helps. Also, if she’s cutting herself you can have her committed to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation and monitoring. There may be some medical reasons for her behavior.
My sister was going through a divorce and fighting for custody of her daughter (who was 16 at the time), and my mother said to my niece, "You know you could stop this custody battle if you would just tell your father you want to live with your mother. It would save your parents all the money they are spending." To which my niece replied, "Oh, I'm worth it."I'm going out of my mind here!!! Just plain disrespectful and lazy.... raising 3 boys was a cakewalk compared to this!!!
