Sounds like a compulsive lier, doesn't even know she is lying. Sorry for the trauma you and your wife had to go thru but it was nice that you tried.
We'll keep her in our prayers that hopefully someday she'll get it (before it's too late)

That girl is going to have a rough life in front of her if things don't change. If her mom doesn't at least try to get a handle on things I see an unmarried teenage mother in the making. Hopefully I am wrong. Like I said earlier, my daughter was on a bad road and changed her ways. It can happen. |

Plus one on the bootcamp, it will shape her up , or break her, in either case...
Though the last one I went to was very disappointing, they actually gave one pleb a "time out" wtf?!? |

She did a snow job on her mother. She did the same to you. She knew what she was doing at her last stop and knew she would continue at your place.
You should be commended for trying to help, but don't ruin your own life for one who has chosen to take whom she can down the foul path with her. You cannot help someone who does not want to be helped.
I would meet with her and her parents and let them know all that you found out. Disclose all and excuse yourself from further abuse from her by returning her from which she came.
Best advice said so far.
Because you and your wife are not seeing eye to eye on this, this is going to effect your marriage (if it hasn't already). It not like you can tell your wife to HTFU.
Personally if it was me, that kid would be 6 feet under by now. Notice I do not have, nor plan to have children. |

My wife has finally opened her eyes to all the lies and manipulation that her lil' sister has put us through. She is at the end of rope as well with trying to help out.
The MIL and I dont see eye to eye. She is pissed at me now (her lost, not mine!) because I told her she needs to learn to be a parent and not a "buddy" to her youngest daughter. The problem is, I tried to be the parent to a child that has never had rules and never had any consequences to her actions. But I am done trying!! Wife is still having a hard time. Caught her in her sister's bed room last night crying. That upsets me more than anything, seeing my wife so torn up over this when the rest of the family doesnt see this as being a bid deal.
Thanks again everyone for the advice and being a lending ear.
