[quote=Anonymous]1) It is weird that you keep calling this 'her prime'. Both because of the implications on your daughters worth and because she's 23, she has plenty of time to date someone lame and then get serious

2) It is bizarre you're worried about her flying out to have sex with the guy. It's her boyfriend, seems like the definition of consensual

3) This is a standard situation for people on a medicine track. They might break up, they might not, but I don't think anyone is using anyone here.

4) While you could perhaps once, mention that long distance relationships are hard or something, there is NOTHING to be gained from a parent trying to tell a 23 year old how to manage their romantic life, especially if they are in love. They are highly likely to just cut you out of that part of their life as a result. And if they don't then you're all going to end up far too overly enmeshed and that will make future relationships harder in a different way

5) Parenting an adult means letting them make mistakes and being there to help pick up the pieces, not clearing the way of obstacles for them[/quote]
