Milk don't call this parent a tard, she/he is desperate because they're child is unhappy, you don't know how terrible that feeling is
I agree tho that if Psy could get her to come over here, even to just read what is being said .........
i'd have to say to this parent, that a child with emmotional issues that are running this deep, needs to be at home, not sent away, if she's finding love wherever, however, the issues begin at home, sending her away is going to make her feel more 'unloved'
Lots of girls find love through opening their legs - sorry to be so blunt, but that's what they think they're doing
being at home, with family who are tirelesly chipping away at her low self esteem and showing she is wanted around will eventually bring her back into the fold, the girl has no self worth, she needs her family to constantly show her they love her no matter what, she will eventually realise she's worth more than that - she will stil sleep around, play about, all the parents can do is advise her & keep her as safe as possible while she carries on like this
The poster says she needs to address these issues rather than worry about college, that's a good sign, let her have a gap year and really work on what's bothering her .... i don't know what else to say, I hope she's reading this, it's a long road, I know, I've walked it, and although I have a long long way to go, my persistence is paying off big time, I actually like my kids and they like me, we are a family again ..... so much can be achieved with baby steps, I will never ever regret my decision not to send my son away, I just KNOW that would have been the end of us as a family and he would have ended up a gibbering wreck (or dead, that's a strong possibility) - it's a really hard thing to do, but no-one said being a parent was easy, some kids just make the job a little tougher than others
