So my sd who is now 16 has runaway for the 4th time this year. Lots has happened this year.

we let her live with her biomom 7 months ago and they couldn't even last a month. she ran away. ever since anytime things start going wrong she runs away and says she going to live with her bm. She has been in two Mental health facilities in the last 6 months. where sd says she only says that to get under her dads skin. and says shes abused to get under my skin. (I was abused) so that's my trigger. but now she's gone again. we can't find her its been four days. I know I need to let it go. she beat the shit out of me that's why she can't come back to our house. but she was finally straightening out! making a's in her new school. had a part time job. I want to let it go. How come you can love someone like this? you know they don't care about you! The BM has no contact orders. I went to her house for her to scream at me. my husband was listening. hung up phone and called police I parked in front of driveway. the police told me to pull in front of him and as soon as I did she fled drove out. yet they can't do anything because even though we have emails from the two of them saying she went to pick her up its just hearsay so now 4 days later we are still in the same spot. no sign of her. im thinking of taking it to facebook SOMEONE... SOMEWHERE has seen her? but then what? where does she go? she has burned ALL her bridges. do I let sd just stay gone? What if something is wrong? What if because I didn't look for her sd found in a ditch? I may not be very clear on what is going on. and I pray all the time that God just find her. but its scary. and im concerned I know I may have the step mom name. and she looks at me if I were... but she is my kid. I spent the last 8 years raising her without a whole lot of help from anyone.

BD is concerned but not sure what to do. hes going crazy too and irritable as all get out but not saying much.My concern is BM is crazy! crazy with drugs, and men. when talking to the police sunday they really said I know where BM likes to hide out ill check there but my hands are tied if I find her. but im not sure what shes capable of.

Send her off to the military. She needs to learn she can't keep running from her problems and authority. She needs to learn how to deal and if she can't be around you to do it then your DH needs to find her and send her away. Even some sort of detention center is better than homeless or in a ditch.

I'm with you and so is my husband. but the problem is she has to stay out of the hospital 6 months and then AGREE to go. which she won't do either. shes been labeled bipolar. which im not saying she isn't but a lot of her problem is the mindset I don't care. and then she uses bipolar as an excuse as to why she acts this bad. which none of the family is falling for. she just burned her last bridge with her aunt. so I don't know should I be trying to get her back? we almost know shes with BM (no contact order) and let them get caught and both in trouble? or what should happen next?

we were looking at boot camps.... not necessarily military. but the state I live in its almost impossible to find any sort of help.

torn between saying - pop a cork and celebrate you are rid of the brat and - file a missing persons report.

just glad I'm not in your shoes... hang in there and let DH take the lead on this, she's not really your daughter thus you can not care more about her then her own bio parents
