[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 495372, member: 3305"] Hi Parent42girls, welcome... In my very humble opinion your daughter is trying to assert her independence. She has lived on her own for awhile and I think it will be difficult to try and control her or this relationship. I do understand how anxious you and your husband must be about this situation given what is at stake...but I think practicing Non-Interference may be the wisest move here. If you "forbid" her from seeing this young man I think it will cause her to dig her heels in even deeper. I have seen this happen before...In fact I am a product of it as my mother was "forbidden" from seeing my father (before they were married)...so she snuck out to see him anyway. Within a month they were married and I was born 9 months later. He was abusive and my mother divorced him by the time I was 2 yrs old and raised me alone. I sure hope your daughter will wise up to the negative impact this person is having on her and her career goals. Letting her figure this out for herself is in my humble opinion the best move. Now, my thoughts would be totally different if you had concrete evidence that he has physically abused your daughter. Then I would definitely intervene. Hoping for the best in your situation, LMS [/QUOTE]
