[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 709106, member: 18958"] You know I was a young girl like your daughter. And I went off the deep end when I went away to college. I had few boundaries and little self-esteem. I was subject to whatever the lowest common denominator that I was exposed to. It was a process whereby gradually I decided what kind of life I wanted, and put that into effect. It was much harder for me to believe I had the ability and the worth to decide and to take control to not let other people hurt me. It is still hard. I am still easily influenced by other people. I know this about myself and I am guarded about who I allow close. It has influenced greatly my outlook upon life. It is not life's fault that my boundaries are not good enough, it is my own lack. I see this as your daughter's life work as it was my own, to learn to be autonomous, open to life, and trusting not so much others, but her own ability to protect herself. To know in herself that whatever life presents, safety or danger, she will decide well. [/QUOTE]
