[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 350592, member: 1436"] I'm not sure. You could confront her, but that would risk putting her on the defensive, and maybe pushing her right where you don't want her to be. On the other hand, if you say nothing, you risk her staying there and becoming more entrenched in the situation with bff's husband. It's so hard to parent an adult child. She has the right to ruin her life, and that's a hard thing to watch. And as a parent, you have a right to express your displeasure and offer to help her find a way out, if she wants out. (Can you tell I'm thinking out loud here.) I think you should keep your hand extended, be there when she comes around to talk, and let her ask for help. [/QUOTE]
