Frank, I have a 17-year-old daughter who is dating a 15-year-old boy, whom I can't stand. He has lied to her about his health, saying that he is going to die in a few years from a heart condition. He is constantly manipulating her. He is clinically depressed, and is always picking fights with her. He gets upset when she wants to see her friends and not him. He is very clingy. She has told me that they are sexually active, which makes it even worse, because it will probably be harder for her to break up with him. Unfortunately, she THINKS she is in love with him
I have tried talking to her and begging her to break up with him because he is bad news. I'm at my wits end.
Thank you
Suzann W. Seattle.
Suzann, If you think this “individual” have ghosts in his closet, get a professional and present a copy of this guy to your daughter I am sure she will get the point, you can e-mail me privately I will give you a list of PI’s in your area and you can use my name. However back to the problem, oppression begets rebellion in us all--especially children in their early teens. She's 17 so reverse psychologies are out. Besides, it never really works.
