[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 314973"] It's hard to say, but I think it is worth it having her read the letters. However, she might very well find it an invasion of privacy...so be forewarned. Does she know you come to tis sight and is she okay with it? I have a tiny family and wish I had gotten more "good" advice from wise counsel when I went through difficult teen years. I do recall one rare ocassion, when my grandmother gave me such advice. I didn't really understand it at the time and I only half followed her advice. About a year later, I understood it a little more and followed her advice a little more. Many years later, I understood it completely. It was a matter of maturity. A friend of mind went through something kinda/sorta like this (less difficult though) with her young daughter and she had relatives talk with her and this helped a little. However, then a peer talked with her and said the exact same things. Guess what? Life COMPLETELY turned around for this young woman and she did ALL THE RIGHT THINGS...exactly what mom and relatives were saying. It was like magic. Peer support/group therapy is like magic. Nancy...does your daughter have any healthy friends or cousins around her age you could appeal to for a little support? [/QUOTE]
