Hi Jo, I am so sorry you read that convo. My daughter is very similar. I don't know how many boys she has been with, but I'm sure it's more than I care to know. I know how you feel, you talk to them until you have no breath left, hoping to get through. Hoping something you say will turn a light bulb on for them. I have been there many, many times. While I know it is important to keep communication open and know what your children are up to, If I were you I wouldn't have read the whole thing. I have come across my difficult child's journals plenty of times, thought about opening them but I didn't. I just was too afraid of what I would find. You can only do so much. We as parents, even parents of easy child children can only give them advice, teach them right from wrong and pray they make the right decisions. What else can you do? I know it's hard believe me, it's like you see your child on the path to destruction and want so much to change their direction, you know the consequences they will face and no matter what you say or do they continues to make bad choices. Ah, the joy of motherhood!!!
You are a good mom and sometimes we must let them fall and pick themselves back up. Hang in there. :smile:
