You didn’t read the article well. The girls mother was horrible, didn’t want her, was on drugs, gave her daughter drugs, scratch tats, etc. the father and his wife were the good parents raising their 3 kids.
Of course a girl whose mother rejected her would have more personal stresses. Maybe up against more than the other kids without the step situation. But it sounds like dad and the new mom were really good parents.
Good parenting is not going to stop drug addiction.
Yaelle, I’m not here much but when I am I find I agree pretty much with everything you say.
