I'm not ready to be a stepmom

If I marry, I get a 16-year-old who can barely take care of herself.

    eeew; lots of ruffled feathers

    The LW didn't create this situation; it sounds as if she were still fetal tissue when she became involved with the father and probably had no idea what she was getting into. And don't blame the mother - she's seriously mentally ill. Hardly good mother material.

    It sounds as if the girl has Asperger's syndrome; she certainly has some questionable genetic markers. It would be nice if the LW hung out a bit and took the girl for a work up.
