Tell her dad

It will come out eventually all that she has been up to, and when it does, and he finds out you knew, you will be in as much trouble as she is. The way I see it, she will be gone in 2 years, but you and your husband have made a lifetime commitment to each other. He should not be kept in the dark and you risk your marriage relationship over it. For a second good reason, you need HIS support in handling her. You should not be doing this alone. I would tell him while she is out somewhere, right after she leaves, and give him time to calm down.
I agree with the other poster, sm. Your daughter is 16. Do not allow any unacceptable behavior, and find out your rights in your state about her leaving. Here in NC, it is 18, and they will drag your teen back home every time until then. If she can legally leave, then let her know she will follow the rules or she can leave, but all financial assistance from you is gone. I will keep you in my prayers. I feel for you.
