AS after her initial rebellion to my confronting, she has now turned quite contrite. Uninstalled all games from her phone. She's shared all passwords. She unlocked her phone.
Yes but it's not over. You still have a rebellious WW on your hands and you need to deal with that in a patient, loving manner. Don't know if you Googled as I suggested but one of the recommendations you'll see when dealing with a rebellious teen is to always RESPECT them. You have to be firm, but you CAN be firm in a loving and respectful manner. I think the same goes for dealing with a WW.

I have huge concerns here guys. She no longer has her business. Now she is giving up everything that occupied her time. I almost feel like I'm opening her up to a full blown PA. These guys she's engaged with have been hundreds of miles away, even thousands, and in other countries. What if her attention now turns to someone local that I can't track.
Are you actually saying that you wish you hadn't exposed her emotional affair because you're afraid it may push her into a PA? So, you think just ignoring it would have been a better choice? What would you say if someone else posted that? You offer fantastic advice to others, but you're so close to your own situation that I think you're having trouble applying the same great logic you have to yourself!

but I'll always wonder if my actions last night pushed her to that.
You didn't push her into anything, she went freely and willingly. As far as you knew everything was great. This was HER CHOICE. Quit blaming yourself!
