[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My young adult DD is basically a Jesus freak, reads the bible multiple times a day, almost exclusively listens to praise music, keeps a journal of her prayers, and is just super obvious in her religious leanings. We are a Christian family, but are not regular church goers, and keep our beliefs fairly personal. I know plenty of other Christians that are devout, but it's not obvious. Anyway, its getting a bit weird. Is this a phase some people go through and get over? I want to say something, but she's easily offended. I just worry its going to limit her socially and eventually career-wise, and even spouse-wise![/quote]

This doesn't sound like a "Jesus freak" to me, just a devout Christian.

When I think of a "Jesus freak", I think of people in cults, standing on street corners calling out Scripture at strangers, and seeing signs of the Second coming in everything.

You need to modulate your emotional response if you want to keep a happy relationship with your daughter.

Is she going to school? Working? Does she have healthy friendships? A healthy romantic relationship? Is her diet proscribed by a religious leader? Can she seek medical care if she desires?[/quote]
