she is neglected, and is not getting the attention nor support she should be. she has started having sexual relationships just to get the attention she is lacking, and has experienced drugs as well all under the roof of my father and his wife. she is emotionally distraught and i fear for her life while she is living there. i would do anything to get her in my care so that she could have a chance at a great life. she needs to be accepted in a loving home where she can be happy and treated appropriately. please help me figure out what i can do for my father to agree to this.

You need to immediately retain an attorney who does guardianships on a regular basis. Talks with your dad may prove fruitless and frustrating and you need to have a court formally approve and name you as guardian. Retain this attorney immediately. Hope this helps.
