Ah man. That sucks. Your daughter, like most teenagers, doesn’t have a fucking clue what she’s signed up for or that she is placing a major burden on her parents. Unfortunately for her, she’s about to enter the “find out” stage.
It’s bad. But it doesn’t have to stay bad. My wife comes from a generational line of teenage pregnances. Hell, she was your daughters age when she got pregnant. She told the sperm donor to fuck off when it was clear that he was more interested in drugs and petty crime than being a parent.
If you ask my wife today if she regrets becoming a teen mom, she will say, “No. Because it forced me to take responsibility for my kids life, and by extension my life. Something I wasn’t willing to do when it was just me.”
She got her shit together. I hope the same for your daughter. The current situation sucks ass. But there’s still a lot of potential for a good outcome. Your kid is lucky to have a family that cares about her enough to support her and hold her accountable.
Ok, thanks! The “can’t tell if you’re the drug addict” was a joke, but I honestly wasn’t sure if it made you the stepdad because I’m an idiot. Thanks for clarifying!
Wait who’s your daughter? I don’t see a daughter mentioned in your comment above. Sorry, I’m just confused.
EDIT: wait, I think I got it.
Your wife had a baby by another man when she was young. He did not serve the role of “father” so you are referring to him as the “sperm donor.” He was into drugs.
And, postscript: that baby was a girl and you later adopted her.

Am I reading this right? Because I can’t tell if you’re the drug-addicted criminal of a sperm donor or you’re raising a step daughter.
She is my adopted daughter.

Are you my situational doppelganger?
Your wife is your adopted daughter?
