Sounds to me they are fed up and are trying to scare her straight.

Anyhow, that must be one heck of a messed up kid to drive her own father away.

Their is this girl I know (we are decent friends), and she has had lots of problems due to what I believe a messed up family life. Two years ago her mom killed herself on her (my friends) birthday (her parents were divorced). Now none of her relatives will talk to her except for her grandparents because they think her mom killed herself because of the girl. Her mom was pretty messed up (drug/alcohol abuse/emotional/physical problems).
Now to get to the present, tonight her dads wife (who hates the girl) said, "You take me and kyle or her!" (Kyle is her little brother whom the step mom likes). The dad chose to take her and kyle, and so they all left and told her that they dont care if they come back to the house and shes dead. That was that.
Now heres the dilemna -
She doesent know what to do. Ive told her to call her grandparents, but she says she already has and they haven't picked up. I also told her to call the cops, but she doesen't want to do that. So now I just told her to get some sleep and call her grandparents in the morning, but shes still freaking out.

What would you have her do in this situation?

EDIT - The dads problem with her is that she doesent obide by his rules. But he has his fair share of problem (drug/alcohol abuse). They get in many feuds and such because she has had lots of drug run ins and such.


Hmm. If she doesnt follow the rules why didnt they just kick her out instead of leaving?


I guess they figured that would be worse and they would get arrested faster???????? Or maybe they are going to move to the caribbean and get a fresh beginning

10 bucks says shes a stoner. They should force her into rehab or get her institutionalised. That usually help wayward teens.

From personal experience I'll tell you this, nothing you can say or do will save this girl. She's in charge of her personal destiny. In addtion, you should certainly do what you consider to be right action, it may end up being painful but right is not synonymous with easy.

yes she is a stoner...among other things. She used to be totally anti-drug, but then about 2 months after her mom died, she tried pot and it got worse from there. About a week ago her dad was going to make her go to rehab, but I never really got the full story on that, because she isnt in there now. I guess he just said f*** it finally and just left.

You're uninformed. A teen who lost a parent and who has difficult family issues is very likely to try drugs. For some it will be a downfall and others will recover. It depends a lot on the social supports the individual is able to draw on.

Only poor families are messed up?

She's 16? That's old enough to start working, if you ask me. You can meek out a decent living at that point if you're willing to do any kind of work.

The dad isn't going to leave the house and all of the property though. No one in their right mind would do that even if they have to deal with some cracked out daughter. He will come back one way or another, even in your OP he said "we don't care if you're dead when we come back."

She's a 16 year-old girl with drug problems, chances are VERY good that she's making some of her story up. If she's absolutely serious, tell her to start carting things down to the pawn shop, but to not tell anyone that you said so because that could make you partially liable for the loss of that property.

Don't blame the drugs on her mother's death though, we all make our own decisions. There are no reliable statistics that will show you how much more likely a teen is to take drugs after a parents' death. There are some polls and some non-scientific studies that point in that direction, but in the end it really all comes down to your choices. She obviously has friends that had access to drugs, and it was her choice to smoke up and it was also her choice to move onto harder drugs.

With all of those people saying the same thing, don't you think that it's more likely that they are feeling that way for a reason? IOW, she really is a sorry person. She's lying to you because of her own problems.

shes not lying to me. I've witnessed them. Her dad is a douche. It wasnt just her moms death that got her to start...it was that mixed with her dad being a douche to her.

So where do YOU stand? Are you the little brother, the boyfriend, the cuddle-bitch ex-boyfriend, or just a plain old "best friend" cuddle bitch?

This makes an enormous difference.

Why not just have a party, that was probably just an excuse for the parents to take a vacation and ditch her for the weekend.

Do people even read what they post anymore?

Her biological father said the he wouldnt care to see her dead after leaving her completely alone.

Yea, I'm sure it was one big joke and they'll all have a hoot after the weekend.

She buys cheap, sells high, then buys more for herself.

Get over yourself ... she's 16 do you really think her parents would leave their house and let her stay. If they really didn't want to see her anymore they would have thrown her out, or bought her a 1 way bus ticket to somewhere. Sounds like they are just trying to scare the kid so she may as well take advantage of the situation and have a good time because they are still going to be pissed when they come home.
