[quote=Anonymous]You have GOT to be kidding me?!  You completely made things worse for your DD!  She will never forget the humiliation of your 'talk' with the other mom.  As  PP noted, you read how strong the agreement on DCUM was and you still couldn't stop yourself from oversharing with the other mom!  I have no doubt she believes you've got some serious issues and have no idea the road you have ahead of you.

I can't believe your attitude on the hair color.  It SO not about you and your preferences on what looks 'cute'.  So what if YOU can't have 'unnatural' hair colors at work!?  So what if YOU can't have visible tats or plugs?!  It's temporary hair color and they're teenagers! Thereisn't anything they can do to their hair that won't be grown out by the time they hit high school or fixed by a stylist - unless, of course, your DD has to wear a bun while dancing in her skimpy costumes and harlot-worthy make up.  What if a dance routine 'required' her to have pink hair?  Would you refuse and, thereby, jeopardize her spot in the troupe?

I hope you're talking to your therapist about why you're so controlling and the felt compelled to talk to the other mom about this.  This is NOT about a family history of alcoholism.  'Alcohol' itself is usually not the cause of alcoholism, it's untreated mental health issues.  From what you posted about yourself, your family history and your reaction to this party, you should be educating your DD on the dangers of untreated mental health issues rather than the dangers 'unnatural' pink hair and mocktails in fancy glasses.
