Ahh sweetbriar, I looked back because I though your daughter was seeing a counselor but I didn't see it. She needs someone who is not caught up in all the drama to talk to. Would she open up to your friend? Or get her a counselor. She's a teen with all the crap those goes along with it and now her parents have both gone off the deep end. This is a tough time for your girls/young women, she needs for someone in her corner.

I wouldn't tell her you read her journal, at least not right now. If she said she was getting hammered very weekend and sleeping around, maybe, but not for what she's almost done. It might make things worse between you and right now she needs to have you.

Maybe you could have some special time every week, just the 2 of you.

At some point tho, I would definitely talk about birth control if you haven't already.

Again, we can only control ourselves.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
