[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is so afraid of their children these days. Why can’t you ask your DD, “ What’s up with the boyfriend’s PDA with the other friend?” And, “How does that make you feel?”  There doesn’t need to be an ultimatum (break up with this disrespectful jerk), just a conversation.[/quote]

This. It's not your job to tell her what she should think/feel. It's your job to be a sounding board and safe space for your daughter to explore her (probably conflicting) thoughts.[/quote]

If you don’t bring it up, if she thinks you’ve seen it and don’t say anything, that in itself makes signal to her that you think that’s normal. Bring it up to her in an open way. Make sure to talk to her generally at a different time about what was good relationship looks like and how a good partner lifts you up.

Yeah. She's too young to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't make her feel amazing. But you can't force anything. Definitely talk to her. Ask her if she feels like this is the right way to be treated. It's so much better to just be single. It's so important to help instill confidence in young people so ending a relationship doesn't feel like a disaster.[/quote][/quote]
