It is so tough being a parent. Even when our children are adults we mother them in hopes of them doing what is best. I would speak to her and let her know your feelings, fears and hopes! It may do no good but it could also change her mind. Most kids look up to their parents and respect their opinion. It is her decision and if she chooses to not take this awesome opportunity then it is her loss.
The reason, I say this is because, I have a daughter in an abusive relationship! I have talked until I am blue in the face!!!! She continues to stay with him and has since, lost her home, her children and working at a minimum wage job all because, "she loves" him. She has a degree in teaching and has thrown it all away for this person! I still love my daughter, but I don't like what she had done and continues to do! There are consequences to all our actions....good or bad!
The moral is you will not be able to change her mind until she is ready, if ever. Voice your opinion and then, let it go.
God bless you and you are not alone! |
