[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 418261, member: 1550"] Malika, I'm not sure how to bring it up. She can go to therapy whenever she likes and has a longstanding relationship with a therapist, but she claims to be happy and is doing well in life right now...if it ever comes up, I will certainly be there to get her help and/or talk to her. I was hoping some people who had had similar experiences would check in with me so I could see how they dealt with it and I did get a little insight. On the other hand, my daughter IS very busy with her life, is very VERY good friends with all the boys at school, and is only fourteen...I am afraid if I bring up anything she will think she NEEDS to go out to please me (she is a bit of a Mom/Dad-pleaser). I'm going to wait, unless she says anything to me. She is very excited about prom and was asked by the star of our school's basketball team. Although she claims she only likes him as a friend, she seems very excited to be going with him and she has said that he likes her. I think she is just not ready for the sexual issues that come up when teenagers date...and, after reading the responses, I guess I'm lucky. If it persists into college years, then she and I can sit down and have a long talk. The funny thing is, she and I talk about almost anything...but this issue...I feel SHE should bring it up. We are very close. I'm sure she would talk to me or her father (whom she adores too) if she feels the need... Thanks everybody for caring. [/QUOTE]
