No disowning allowed bro...she's your child and it's a lifetime commitment. Give her all the support you can but she is being a typical teenager. She is going to make many bad decisions. Hopefully she doesn't make fatal ones but you can't "make" her choose the better decisions, that only comes with learning and hard lessons from life.

My daughter has turned 17. She has gone from my angel to my devil. She lives with her Mom, has a new boyfriend and runs the streets from 3pm to 11 pm each night. Nothing I have said can stop her ... she is that bull headed.

She spent 2 weeks in juvenile detention for striking her Mom in March and immediately went back to partying upon release. Now she is an adult in Michigan.

I had her meet a lawyer last Friday who will represent her when she is picked up by the police. I know this will happen soon. You can't live like this.

She is on birth control pills and somehow maintains a 3.83 average in high school. She still wants to go to University 2 1/2 years from now.

I have no legal obligations towards her. All I do for her is of my own free will. She was the sweetest young woman in the world back in the Fall of 2007. Now she just runs the streets with her friends.

Do I disown her? Simply fade away? Keep reaching out?

Once upon a time, I was WAY worse than her(as described by u,anyway). I just didn't have any direction. When I became a paramedic---> it saved my life.
My dad prolly asked himself the same questions about disowning me. There isn't ANYONE in my life as important as my father. There never will be(well, except my son). Don't give up on her. She prolly needs u more than u realize. If this isn't her usual way of acting, she's prolly going through a rough patch. I'm not saying u should pretend her actions are ok....but she prolly needs u more now than ever.

bro, no offense - NEVER... we all have our days when we act up, she will be a good woman someday.

^^
what he said.

she's gotten in some trouble... as have a LOT of people who grow up to be good people. the damage you would do by disowning her now can never be repaired.

She does well in school. she is not out ALL night if i understand correctly- she's out until 11pm at 17 years old. that's not bad. She's using birth control- that's responsible. and according to you, she was/is very sweet.

my guess is- she's still very sweet.
