Do these sound familiar?

"Nobody loves me the way he does...."

"You can't understand what I am going through......"

"Nobody wants me to be happy......especially you....."

"I will NOT get through this......."

"Dont blame him......this is all on me. He had nothing to do with this......"

Heard this before or some variation of them???

Yes.


They are the wayward script. I think they are etched in stone somewhere, and required to be memorized if you plan an affair.


Lucky to be where I am, in a safe place to get marriage-related support.

Ah yes, the joys of parenting.


Waywards are teenagers. Maybe that etched stone is somewhere in one of those very messy bedrooms??????

Sounds to me like Mr 20-year-old is about to have a little man-to-man with Mr. KNOT.

Have you asked her these questions:

He is two years out of high school. Why is he hanging out with a sophomore/junior? (don't know what grade your DD is in).

Doesn't that seem sort of...odd that he wants to be with someone who still has one/two years of high school left? Most people his age are starting their 2nd or 3rd year of college or job training.

What do you and your friends think of senior boys who want to go out with 8th/9th graders? This isn't much different.

Not sure if this helps. It's from my experience as an alternative high school teacher. I've had this conversation many times with my female students.

I just got to thinking about this situation and I remembered that when I came home from my first year of college I dated a girl who I think was 16. I would have been 19, but that relationship should have never happened. [Not knows how my boundaries have been lacking - clearly much of that was rooted in my upbringing]. I was a nice kid and treated her with respect (her next BF got her pregnant during a breakout from Juvie....*), but still I should have found someone my own age, and there were plenty of choices.

John's Twin, I'm sure your questions might be effective with Not's daughter. However, what would have been effective with me (as I try to imagine the whole thing) would have been a stern conversation with the kid's dad. To the tune of: "stay the he11 away from my daughter or you have no idea the pain and suffering you'll endure." I also think if that girl's parents had told my parents to tell me to seek my entertainment elsewhere, that would have been effective as well.

Opt

*ps - the girl wound up getting a law degree from a prominent university while her parents raised her kid.

Uh yeah, I think Mr Not should tell the little weasel what broken knee caps feel like.


Besides, isn't there a law against this?


BS - me 56

In Indiana, the legal age for 'consent' is 16. sigh
