[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 348109, member: 9175"] All your replies are heartwarming. Thank you. Star, let me know when you acquire those islands...I have a kid I'd like to send along for a bit. How about an island for the parents? This one would have an open bar and plenty of beach chairs! Daisy, I am working hard to change my apporach to convos with her. Reacting like a normal parent (dealing with typical rebellion) really doesn't work. Even though she is 18, she is not even close to being self-supporting. She is trying to get us to give her money for a car to go to NC (nope!). She also owes $10,000 in student loans and owes me money for a speeding ticket. All that will have to be taken care of first. I'd welcome suggestions about talking to her about the boy. It's hard because he is one in a series - a pattern of one after another (the third in an online series), where it is "Love" after a few days and befpre meeting in person. I have not offered my opinon on the last two, but I did make it clear early on that this is not safe, nor is it any way to forge a relationship. After that time, I did keep my mouth shut. She has issues with lying, also. It's hard to know if you're actually having a conversation sometimes.... Sigh, Dash [/QUOTE]
