How Much Do I Really Know?

A question keeps running through my mind as to how much do I really know, or rather how well do I really know my stepdaughter? It is like after she left and when back to her Mom's over a year and a half ago, she became like Jekyll and Hyde. Someone I feel that I obviously never really knew. The things she verbally says as well as writes are so abusive and nasty that I feel they can't be coming from the same young lady I once knew. Is it the drugs, the company she keeps, peers, or what? I haven't a clue, but I knew that I couldn't live with her in my home, out of control the way she was. And her mother finds her behavior totally acceptable. According to some things written in blogs, there are now incidents in the school with erratic behavior, and she is already threatening to harm one of the instructors at the school. It's too crazy for me to deal with and I don't feel like she is even on part of the same dimension as the rest of us. I don't know what will happen in a year when she is supposed to graduate and financially be on her own.
She hasn't learned any job skills or even had a part time job. I don't forsee that she has the people skills to get along with other to even have a job. When she was little, I knew my stepdaughter, but now, she seems to be pretty strange.
