After a little snooping I have found out my seventeen year old daughter has been in a secrete online relationship with a nineteen year old boy for about nine months. I have no idea what to do.
I have seen the kid's pictures and seen a glimpse of him walking by her computer when she is webcamming, so the age factor is not the issue.
As I said before I do snoop, and when reading my daughter's IM history they use very uh colorful langue, to say the least, and my daughter is the first to provoke. She was the first to say "i like you" the first to say "i love you" and the first to start the convo on anything dealing with sex (which happens a lot). She is going to be a senior next year and has told him (and me) that she will be attending college in his home town.
My question is should I try to stop her? Should I tell her I know what is going on? Should I act stupid?
Tell her you know, and that the computer is going to be moved to an open part of the house so you can glance at what she's doing on it at any time. And don't cry and break down when she screams "I hate you!"
She's seventeen. If you haven't taught her how to be safe in all manners of relationship, you'd best get up to speed.
Rather than being confrontational, you might consider working with her. Just make sure she is safe and aware. She is going to start taking these responsibilities whether you want her to or not. You can either be a guide to success or an obstacle to surmount.
