[QUOTE="aquarius, post: 728452, member: 22802"] Thank you all for your words of encouragements. We did talk to our daughter about her talking to someone (professional or otherwise) so she wasn't hearing just the opinion of her parents. She says she doesn't think she needs to talk to anyone. We cannot force her to talk to someone if she doesn't want to. We believe the emotional breakdown was a result of all the lies catching up with her and his bad behavior being revealed (again). We've talked (and talked and talked) about her feelings that we "hate" him. We've long said we don't hate him, but we've never been given the opportunity to get to know him. From the beginning he's been a "come over" guy, so we've only really met him one time. The only thing we've ever seen is his bad behavior. They are both behaving immaturely and irresponsibly and we've told our daughter this. She is not actively defying us at this point, meaning when we say she cannot go see him, he has to come see her, she doesn't sneak off to go see him. But we are still not at a place where she openly talks about him or is sharing any real feelings with us. I am a problem-solver by nature, but this isn't my problem, it is hers, so I am having to wait for her timing which is EXCEPTIONALLY difficult for me. I am holding to the hope that this didn't happen overnight, so it is not going to go away overnight - but our little girl is still in there somewhere and if we are consistent with her, she will come back to us.
