[QUOTE="weatheringthestorm, post: 113149, member: 4424"] Best of luck to you. It sure is a hard road you're on. You and your stepdaughter remind me a bit of my stepmom and me. My mom was married to a horrbile and abusive man. After a stint in the psychiatric hospital I went to live with my dad and stepmom for a while. (back then my mom just gave him a notorized letter giving him temp custody, it got me enrolled in school, etc. Don't know what you have to do now.) My dad lived in a different state about 8 hours away from home. That part was hard. But if she's hanging out with the wrong people getting away should be good. From experience I say it's really easy to fall back on old habit once she goes back to her mom. So, be careful not to send her back to soon (or maybe at all). You're doing the right thing by getting her the counseling and help that she needs. She does sound sick rather than just bad. I'd also like to suggest you read the Explosive Child. I'm in the middle of it and it really makes sense. I have to read it on the sly when my difficult child can't "catch me"! A little hope... I'm all grown up now and have a good relationship with all my parents, stepmom too! Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
