[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 611245"] The advice you've been given is excellent. I know it is very hard to hear. But it is imperative that you set some healthy boundaries and protect yourself and your 13 year old. Chances are, your step daughter won't care for this, but that is just too bad. It is a necessity. You might try to find out if she has one or two healthy goals and set her on the right course to achieve those goals. But, this is, in all truth, is a long shot. Maybe some phone numbers, some direction, some hope....But it might help her to at least begin the process of thinking more clearly about what she wants to do for herself in terms of productivity, self direction, good health and happiness. But, your personal main objection should be to protect yourself...your health, your home and your son. And having someone like this in your home (boyfriend too????) is very likely not healthy and very likely going to be a worsening situation. I would also insist that her father take some part in helping you. If he won't, then even more reason to encourage her to find shelter elsewhere. Give her some tools, some positive goals (her goals...hopefully)....and an example of a woman who moves forward and doesn't take any crxp...you be the example. [/QUOTE]
