[QUOTE="ksm, post: 731068, member: 12511"] Do you live in a country that you are legally responsible for her until a certain age? That makes all the difference... You sound like you are doing all that you can in this situation. If you are in the states, she could receive a monthly income from social security until she turns 18, based in her moms work history. If she is doing anything that is illegal, try to turn her in so maybe they would force her to get help. Otherwise, I would keep doing what you are doing. I would pay the money to the family she lives with...directly to them. Have you considered getting a debit card for your daughter, that you would put a set amount on each month, and that is all that you would do. That she would have to wait til the first of the month before she would receive more. This would cut down on her contacting you and manipulating for money. Has she ever seen a psychologist or psychiatrist? Is there history of mental health issues on either your side or your wife's family? The fact that your wife committed suicide (although under very difficult circumstances) might point to a possible mental health issue. I am sorry that your family has gone thru such a difficult time.
