Sorry about your stressful situation. Are you sure that she is doing "the best she can" for her kid?

Right now the issues aren't life changing just the usual stuff that's important to an 11 year old. But if she can't talk to her mom now, what happens when the issues are more serious like parties, alcohol and drugs?

Which are all the sad consequences of inadequate parenting which has FAILED to do the best they could for their now damaged kid!

Does anyone have any resources for step parenting and how to direct her back to her mom while making sure she feels listened to and taken seriously? Her anxiety is increasing and so is mine.

IMO, any kind of basic, healthy, sensible parenting information could HELP such a stressed kid and I'd simply look around for it to LEARN HOW to be a good role model for your step kid.
good luck,
