[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 123392, member: 3626"] Vent away!!!! I'm sorry if you took what I said the wrong way. I didn't mean for you to pay for it, but I did want to make sure she knew the facts. Some conservative Christians refuse to have THE talk with their kids. I'd still consider reminding her of the risks since she is now there. It can't hurt and might help. It would be nice if our kids learned from our mistakes but they rarely do. I smoke. I've harped on the stupidity and danger of smoking to my daughter since she was 5. The first time she moved out, she came back smoking. I cried myself to sleep for about 4 nights about it. It still upsets me. I refuse to help her in any way, shape or form to get cigarettes. She cannot smoke in the house or in my car. It's all I can do. All you can do is guide the best you can. Like mine, what she ultimately chooses to do is up to her. Stinks, doesn't it? It sounds like boyfriend is between a rock and a hard spot right now. He certainly wouldn't want to anger his parents but probably is afraid for his girl friend to leave for fear where she would go next. Since you like him, what do you think the chances of his being on your side and helping push her home? Hope you can find a way to get some sleep soon. I know it hurts to not have her there, but you need to take care of you. The kids at home need you and, strangely enough, so does she. She's still going to you for advice. She'll come to you for comfort, as well. For now, accept that she is safe and not too bright in her decisions. If she's typical, she will grow up and make you proud! [/QUOTE]
