My Step Daughters Behavouir?

Question by koalacarla1234: my step daughters behavouir?
me and my husband both have daughters only my daughter is 2 years younger, very sweet and does everything she is told
me and my husband have been married for 2 years now and are planning to have another baby
however recently my step daughter have been living with us, since she got out of rehab for drug addiction and anorexia
she has had a very hard life, becuase her sister died when she was 4 and her mother an alcholic and drug abuser and my husband and her mother seperated and she took my step daughter because my husband wasnt in the state to look after her
soon the mother commited suicide and my husband was never informed of this, and went to live with her uncle where she was severally abused and raped
and after that jumped from foster home to foster home
it was only after her suicide attempt a year ago he eventually found her,and now she lives with us but her behavouir is outageous
she comes home at 4 in the morning drunk and high
ive found drugs in her room, and she cuts
herself, skips school and mouths off, ive even caught her having sex with some guy, she barely eats and listens to very heavy music, i dont think she sleep either, i dont know what to do, she yells at me when i talk to her

You and your husband need to intervene before she does herself some real damage.

You need to be there for her. As well as the father if not more so. I would suggest seeking professional help however, she will probably not want to go. You cannot force things upon her. She will (hopefull) reach a point at the bottom and realize something has got to change. As for now, you both need to talk to her, love her, hug her every chance you get. I would seriously suggest professional help.
