[quote=Anonymous]PP, thanks for your detailed responses. Since DD didn't express any strong opposition and I do occasionally struggle with the idea that I'm not the parent figure DD needs in her life, I think family therapy is worth a try.

I realize that the line about not bailing her out may seem harsh and unnecessary. What I was trying to imply is that while I can't control everything DD does away from my presence, where I can no longer strictly enforce my zero tolerance rule, the police still can. I wanted to remind her that pot is still illegal (and even when the activists get their way, it will surely remain illegal for minors). I let her know that I trust her to make the right call when she's out with her friend, which she seemed to appreciate. Still, while I will always love her no matter what happens, she is old enough to face the consequences of her own mistakes.

I agree that DD's safety and trust are both important priorities, but I also can't give her the green light to go get high outside of the house. Thanks again for your advice. I think you have your heart in the right place.[/quote]
