[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any involvement from her biological mother?[/quote]

Yes..I made that clear in my post. She lives with our bio mom and her bio dad. Her dad does acknowledge something is wrong but blames on her friends. He is always saying " if she didn't hang out with them, she wouldn't be doing this". My uncle ( his brother) told him he can't out it off in his friends. Yes they are enabling it but they aren't forcing her. She needs to take responsibility for her own actions and not blame everyone else.

No we have not gone to anything. I don't think it will help unless she makes that first step. I don't see her stopping until a court or someone orders her to rehab. [/quote]

I'm not the PP, [b]but your post did not make the family tree clear at all.[/b]

I agree with PPs.  If you are going to be so unpleasant on this thread, why should anyone bother to offer advice?  Improve your attitude.  That probably goes for real life, too.[/quote]

Yes she did.  First two sentences of post. [/quote]

NP here.  She did not make it clear.  First off she's calling her a half-sister.  If this is her step-dad's child then she is a step sister.  Another poster asked if the bio mom was involved.  OP came back and said she had made that clear in her first post and then referred back to her own mom.  Her own mom would be the step mom.  [/quote]

OP here. I did make that clear and clearly you did not understand by the above portion. Let me explain - a step sibling is when they don't share DNA. A half sibling is when they share a parent.

Now let me explain ( though I did 3 times). She is my half-sister. She lives with our bio mom and her bio dad ( my step-dad). My parents for divorced and my mom remarried and had my sister. This makes her my half-sister. She lives with both of her bio parents. [/quote]
NP, I get the connection, but the way you  initially worded it, immediatelly mentioning it was your step-dad's bio child and not mentioning your mom, is likely what caused the confusion. Either way you have a defensive attitude, which really isn't warranted when you are the one asking for advice.[/quote]

Not the OP, but seriously.  SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.  [/quote]
