Learning Lessons the HARD way. I snooped
| Sun, 04-30-2006 - 9:14am |
Well, my DD (16) has officially called it quits with the BF that we have been agonizing over for the past year after much back and forth waffling. Her cell phone was on the table and I looked through the messages... I know... I feel terrible about snooping. However, I found out the exBF was such a big cheaterpants and now I am worried for DD. He admitted to sleeping around during their relationship. Now, how do I bring up the fact that I am very concerned for DD; what if she has an STD? How do I get her to go get checked without revealing my reason for concern? She has been on the pill, so I don't think they used condoms. I am so happy she finally saw the ex for what he truly is... it takes so much restraint on my part to not give him a piece of my mind! I am not saying anything to DD either. Oh but it is so hard. Teens seem to think bad things won't happen to them, so I don't know if she will go to Planned Parenthood on her own and get checked. I am very concerned.

You are a great mom. 16 is a rough age; so vulnerable and on the cusp of adulthood,but not there yet.
Warn your sweet daughter that,if she does have a SID of a serious kind, she will have to name her b/f to the health authorities. Well,that's the way it is here. You might want to discuss the procedure with your doctor and/or PP before you go,so you can prepare her.
Take Care
