Sorry. I meant to post the back story, here it is
I am a bio and step dad, my blood child is almost 3 with two step daughter's (15 & 16). I have had them since they were 2 and 3, been married to their mom for ten years, average middle class lifestyle and all that jazz. Up until about 5 years ago, the girls we're like my own and didn't think of them as steps. To this day, you would not think the 15 year old is not mine, we have an excellent relationship, like bio's. The other one is resentful, hateful, spiteful and down right nasty to me, her mom and my two year old little boy. They're dad abandoned them at 2 and I understand that hurts and all, but the younger one has processed the hurt and put it behind her, even the older one doesn't think of him as a DAD, only brings him up to try and hurt me. I grew up around a rough neighborhood and have seen shady and evil people, but she Trump's them all with the lying, false accusations of abuse and telling her school how she's got it so rough (she lives in a 5 bedroom home and I'm the only one working, mom drives an Infiniti, etc). So CPS and the school are familiar with us. They're polar opposites, 15 year old genuinely loves me as a DAD, honor roll student and understands the importance of family and education, we preach it all the time. I work hard, go to church and love my family and would do anything for them. I just don't know how to deal with it anymore. I actually fear that she would hurt my son to get at me and no CPS worker, psychologist, psychiatrist, doctor or therapist will take us seriously on how bad this past several months has been, sorry for blabbing so long, it's just cool to know I'm not crazy or the lone wolf in the situation. Peace guys and God bless.

I have no control over this "troubled youth". Me and mom have done the therapy, individually, separately and all that jazz for a long time, the problem lies within her, not us. My other SD is an honor roll student and we get along great. So if the "troubled" one as you say can't get her act together, you gotta go

She's had the therapy, meds, all that stuff. I got laid off and just started a job after 6 months, mom was laid off for a year and started a job yesterday, we both worked in the oil industry. We're trying to get back to normal and he behavior is terrible and has no regards for the financial hardships we've had the past year. We are both needing her give

What I'm saying is that all the help has been available to he at her dispense, we've spared no expense in trying to help her, she has to want to help herself. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. When you have a voice message from the school principal saying he wants to strangle your kid cause she's so ignorant and disrespectful, then it's getting out of hand, like I said, it ain't us, my honor roll SD lives in the same house, same treatment, reward and punishment system. There's no imbalance of treatment. It's her creating her own adversity because where we live, these spoiled rotten rich kids get whatever they want and never get told no so they create their own obstacles. We're not one of those privileged people but she thinks she can act like the other ones

We're looking into emancipation but it's most likely not going to happen. She won't get a job, won't try in school, has no plan for 17-18. She said just the other day when we told her that if she wants to go, you have to prove your case to a judge, she said she'd rather stay in the home and "cause hell". that's some demented s***. We're close to haven't to pay a $1700 truancy fine because she skips during some of her classes
