[QUOTE="Parent42girls, post: 495393, member: 13538"] Thank you so much for your quick reply and questions. Not attending her work-related functions may have an impact on the hiring decisions. She was called into the office just before Thanksgiving and they told her that they had some concerns over her lack of involvement. They said that she has everything going for her as far as her abilities, but that they are looking for someone who is a "good fit" in all areas. She spent the summer there so they had a chance to see what she was like pre-boyfriend. It was after that meeting that she told her boyfriend that she would be attending a work-related function instead of having a dinner with his family. He was so angry and it was his reaction to that news that prompted the first break up. There are others there in a similar position as her, but she is the youngest by 3 years. It was unusual for them offer this type of position to someone her age. This relationship is the only thing that is affecting her progress - which is one of the reasons why I think its so hard to sit back and watch. We feel like she is throwing everything she has worked so hard for in the trash and along with that has no regard for the financial and family sacrifices are making for her to be there. I had not considered that by forcing her to come home would be another kind of control. I feel like it comes down to two choices. We leave her there, allow her to make her own mistakes and possibly ruin her chances for the future she has always dreamed of - OR - we bring her home and most definitely ruin it for her (although my husband would say that she did it to herself by lying to us). I can't say that I like either option but at least with the first option there is a chance that she will come to her senses before its too late. [/QUOTE]
