it seems like a light went off in my head. PTSD. Is anyone treating that? Self medicating with alcohol and drugs is one of the signs of PTSD. Even if someone was not in combat, PTSD can be a hidden disrupter.
Since the problems began when the daughter was 14, it's not likely her time in the military is the cause of her behavior.

To the OP, it sounds like your boyfriend is an enabler for his daughter. He has to decide on his own to stop enabling her. Have you considered something like Al-Anon for yourself? It might help.
