What is the name of your state? PA
Good Morning, I have a rather serious problem with my 17 yr old daughter, she has always been a blessing to raise until recently. She started hanging around a girl from the neighborhood who's parents could careless what she does, she smokes, drinks and does drugs. I have seen my own child go down hill from that point. We tried (my husbad and I, who is not her bio. father, but has raised her since she was a little over a year old) to talk to her about this. Her attitude is "I don not care". I caught her with a text message from a boy who wanted to sell her weed. Needless to say I had her phone turned, and home tested her which was positive. I pulled all her privliages, tried to get her council, only to have her rebell harder against me and her stepfather. Her Bio father has never been involved in her rearing, lives in another state and could care less, does not pay support has defied court oders in 2 states (all on record) . My daughter seems to think after all these years she no longer has to listen to her stepfather , he has an awful time with her when I am not home. My daughter and some of her friends seem to believe in the state of PA a step child does not have to listn to a step parent unless unless bio parent is out of the state. I have never heard such a thing, but she has and is using that at an excuse for doing what she wants when she wants when I am at work or away from the house. We have tried over and over to talk. Please if anyone has any insight into this matter, I would be greatful.
