A couple months a go my brother and his wife were killed in a car accident. They had three kids, 16, girl, 11, boy and in their will they wanted me to have custody of the kids. The girl has been sneaking out of the house at night to see her boyfriend, talking with dirty language to everyone especially to me and her brother, and smoking and coming home drunk. What do I do? Please help.

This is a tricky one but u have to be crystal clear to her that she is going off track and the sooner this is fixed the better. Explain it to her (not in a confrontational way) but in a sort of diplomatic and tactifully manner. Dont worry about getting angry because u will b doing the right thing! Also, u might involve other family members so that it doesn't look like a personal attack. Tell me how it goes n gd luck. Big brother

I am so sorry about your loss..Im sure this is just as hard for you as it is for anyone else who has lost these wo wonderful people. Your niece is at a very sensitive age right now and its easy to say talk to her than you actually doing it and getting through to her. I suggest you go to therapy, clearly she is hurting and finding comfort in rebelling. Seek counselling and encourage her spiritually aswell. I will keep you in my prayers too.
God bless you

You need to help her, she is hurting clearly. She needs a friend not a guardian. Its going to be difficult to get her to open up to you but you need to. At this rate she is going to lead a sad life

Did she behave like this when her parents were alive or this new behavior?
