[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 469152, member: 6546"] Yep. Not a rape survivor buy by her parents, therapist, Ms Ally, and current BA In one ear and out the other. Because difficult child "can tell" when someone is a good person or a bad person...and since these are all "good" guys - there's nothing to worry about. difficult child is no virgin - so she thinks she knows all there is to know. She is also confident that she'd be able to fight her way out of any tough situations. husband is a big man - he has demonstrated to her that if he wanted to pin her down - there's not a darn thing in the world she could do about it...and yet she STILL does not believe that could ever happen to her because she is too smart for that. So what I'm trying to grapple with is - if I want difficult child to have a phone, I have to accept that she is going to use it inappropriately. Even if I block the internet or get her a "calling only" phone - does that mean she is going to stick to the straight and narrow and only speak with "approved" friends? Of course not... And if I remove the phone - does that ensure that she will do the right thing? Nope - no assurance there either. The whole thing just seems so futile... And while I like the idea of difficult child downloading everything to the computer - I can't envision any circumstance under which difficult child would actually do such a thing. She would need to acknowledge that what she was doing was potentially dangerous. And since she thinks we are all just paranoid and stupid - she would have no intention of leaving any information for us to find. [/QUOTE]
