[quote=Anonymous] The problem seems to be that she is passive and perhaps under the influence of this young person she is dating. Is that what you're worried about? That she will go through life not doing the things she actually wants to do, for want of initiative and because she can't advocate for herself as much as she should? The root cause of the problem seems to be social anxiety and insecurity. The gender of the person she dates, or eventually marries, is irrelevant. What matters is whether she feels she is going through life on her own terms, or someone else's. It will matter in her professional life, not just her private life. This is something she can get help with in therapy, the goal of which will be to develop self-advocacy. I would push for therapy. [/quote]
