[QUOTE="Parent42girls, post: 505784, member: 13538"] Hound Dog. I appreciate both of your responses and I am glad that you didn't see my 2nd post before making your first one. Hearing the experiences of others who have been through this is important to me. We start therapy on Wednesday. We will wait until after our first session to decide where to go from here. Right now we have not limited her contact with him. We are hoping that with therapy and our support she will realize on her own that she doesn't need someone like that in her life. We are being tring to be supportive, but not accommodating. Other than this current situation, she hasn't done anything to cause us concern so we are not quite ready to bring down the iron fist. We are trying to give her credit for all that she has accomplished so far and to empower her to make good choices for herself while under our guidance and not his influence. I will admit to being a little sad over ending her career potential where she was. She has worked her whole life for this and I am hopeful (although not telling her so) that she will find her way back. But ultimately we want her to be a happy, healthy, responsible adult and that is much more important to us than what she does for a living. Thanks again to all of you for your support and advice. I cannot tell you how much better it feels just to "say" some of the things that have been happening. Thus is just surreal. [/QUOTE]
