My youngest decided she doesn't want to be here at all anymore
Tell her to pack her shit and get the fuck out. You're a pretty stand-up dude and don't deserve that kind of bullshit and maybe some tough love will pound some common sense into her. Or a couple weeks of living with her mom again. Then again I'm usually dead wrong when it comes to emotional shit and maybe that would just give her mom more opportunity to whisper poison in her ear. Definitely not a dilemma I'd want to face.

I changed the garage code and took away the spare key that she used to come back and forth with. She can knock on the front door now if she wants to come over.

She was too young to know the bullshit her mother pulled, so she believes her mom on everything she says. Last time she was here I asked her why she doesn't want to be part of this family anymore and she called her mom and told her she was "upset and scared and wanted to leave." And that's where it ended.

Really? Same language your mom used? Same motif? Weird.

So yeah. I mean - she's 14. That's usually when fathers end up losing their daughters for awhile anyway. And also - I was waiting for one of my kids to move out so I had a spare bedroom to turn into a sauna. Now I know which one it's gonna be!

But yeah - still fucking sucks.

She's a teenager. Don't let her walk all over you, and don't hold it against her if she grows out of it. Hormones, friends, and stupidity are par for the course.

Near as I can tell, the vast majority of relationships fall into some variation of one person carrying all the weight and the other being a piece of shit. The trick is finding someone who would carry all the weight, and then you carrying your own weight, and then getting lucky that they don't decide to be a piece of shit after they see that you're carrying the weight.
The trick is realizing marriage is a 100%/100% proposition. A lot of people say 50/50 but that's a recipe for disappointment. Each one has to put their all into it but everyone doesn't have the same 100%. If done correctly each partner will think they're contributing more to the relationship. But that's only because with the other person taking care of business, you are focused on the parts you do.

I can't help much with the mixed family. While my wife had a bio child when we married, I did not. But I will say that I'm her dad and I wouldn't have been interested in having a child as a roommate.
