Not sure I have much to offer as I had a hard time biting my tongue at times. She did end up leaving this particular guy I'm thinking of but it cost her job that she loved and a lot of tears. When she left him though, it wasn't anything I had said/done/encouraged, rather she come to realize it on her own. Incidentally, she didn't tell me right away.

Sometimes a parents opposition will only drive them further into their blind devotion.<br /><br />When I was in college I had a good friend, or so I thought, named Christa. Christa was bad news and a bad influence on a very impressionable me. The more others tried to talk to me about her the more defensive I got and the closer I got to her as a friend. I didn't like others telling me what was good for me...typical teen mentality.<br /><br />You can try having a talk, but in the end you're her mom and not her friend. I know that sucks, but part of learning how to walk is falling on your ass a few times.ElbieNy25https://www.blogger.com/profile/11552745757227927622noreply@blogger.com
