[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 674284, member: 18958"] First, of all, she is very young. This may just be stage. Second, it is not your failure. You have no control over her, just yourself. Third, feeling as if you failed, does not help anything. If you believe she is in danger, what are your options? She got one job. She can get others. If she is at risk, and there is criminal activity happening around her, she may be being victimized and at risk of it escalating. There are always more jobs. I do not know what you should do, either. If she is doing something criminally wrong, or something is happening criminally around her, is it not better to act to nip it in the bud? If you can. Is it not enabling to permit her to continue? Or is it overstepping your role? I do not know. Perhaps others will. If you believe she is at risk, and you can act to perhaps stop it, is it right or wrong to do so? I do not know what the answer is. But you do have options. Have you thought of going to therapy for yourself? You are under a great deal of pressure. This is very hard. The worry, and not knowing what to do. What you should do. COPA [/QUOTE]
