SD is miserable all the time

I need advice.  So my soon to be 16yr old SD is making her dad and me miserable.  SD lost her BM in 2019.  Her BM groomed her children to manipulate, hate and also spy on my husband and me. Luckily SS matured and realized we are good people. But not my SD.  So now we have her full time and she's obviously at a difficult age on top of losing her mom and best friend. She is in therapy and we give support at home.  But she started going to parties, doing things she shouldn't and her grades tanked, plus she was extremely disrespectful.

Step Daughter - what to do

I'm new to this site, and new to blogging, but happy I found this site b/c being a stepparent is so hard! My 15 yr old SD lost her BM two years ago.  Before BM passed my husband and I had 50/50 custody of their two kids.  BM had many issues apart from just physical illness.  BM and my husband were divorced for over 8 years by the time I came into the picture, but you would have thought it was fresh with the way she acted. Note BM was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer which is extremely sad, but she managed to live way longer than expected, almost 14 years after first being diagnosed.
