I need help!.. My husband and I have been together for 7 years now and I don't know what to do with my step daughter. We have had sole custidy of her for 5 yrs. and there is no contact between her and her biological mother. She for the most part is a great kid but about every six months she starts stealing my things, clothes in particular, going through my things, lying, making bad grades, hiding junk food in her room and signing my name at school. What do I do? Nothing has worked to this point and I hate to say but I'm tired of trying. Help.... ↓

You and your husband need to sit her down and discuss it. Let her know you will not put up with this behavior. Then you need to get to the bottom of it and find out what is going on with her. Let her know she can come to you if she has problems. ↑

It's weird that she does these things like every 6 months. I wonder if it isn't some kind of mental thing? You should talk to her doctor about it. Maybe in a way it's like an addiction of some sort but only flaring up every 6 months is really weird. I'd talk to her doctor. Also,what was her mother like? Did she have some of the same behavior? It might be worth looking into. ↑
