She sounds like a smart gal who made a bad judgement call...I bet she wises up and dumps him after she realizes this isn't the life she really wants...unfortunately, kids have to find things out for themselves.

Been there, done that.
Previous posts are on target-my daughter came around and is now just about as conservative as I am.
My experience-we all hit trigger points-people and or events that motivate our behavior-for me I was infleunced by a SF MSG, just back from Vietnam-caused me to join the Army.
My daughter found out she needed to protect and educate her children-so she had to get rid of her Navy deserter husband. And so it goes.
Fortunately my son ran into someone who convinced him that he should be a paratrooper...
Some never hit these triggers-or they hit the wrong ones.
Bottom line: you're OK-you're doing your best

Thanks, Barb. But it's the "coming to an end" part that I worry most about. All the things that can happen that you see on TV and read about in the papers. Robbery, rape, beatings, murder, disappearances, kidnapping, being forced into prostitution, etc. Not to mention accidents and illness. I'm a dad. I worry. It's my job to protect her. How can I stop? I just pray that she will come to her senses and come back home. I'm not sure that I can trust her judgement right now. She throws away $34,000 in grants and scholarships. Basically tells the people who wanted to invest in her future to go screw themselves. She won't get that money again. And for what? To be with a high school drop out that she has to support, because he can't be bothered to use HIS money to buy important things like his Insulin. He's a severe diabetic. And when I recovered what was left of her car, the trunk was full of beer and alcohol and there was drug stuff inside trhe car.(As I co-signed the loan, I still have to pay for and insure the car on my $604.00 per month) I can only pray it was his and she's not into drugs and drinking. His mother uses "medicinal" marijuana. At 58, I can proudly say that I have never even tried drugs. I could never understand drinking. Tried beer once, didn't like it. I see drinking as a waste of money. It's an expensive liquid you put into your system just to go out of your system when you go to the bathroom. From what I understand, you get more hydration effect from water than you do with alcohol. I don't drink, smoke, use drugs (other than perscriptions), or have sex. I guess I must be dead. But I haven't seen myself in the obits yet. As dumb as I am, I wouldn't know I was dead unless I read about it in the paper.

I don't know what they told her about Suffolk, Virginia, but in my opinion after living down there for five years, it's not paradise at all, and neither is Virginia Beach. She might have these illusions/delusions about romance and "big city" but the reality is going to be a wake-up call. I mean, really, we just about cried when we came over the bridge from the Eastern Shore for the first time. It's not "bad", but it's grungy, crowded, flat, muggy, and has dirty beaches (Apologies to the people who live there).
Maybe you can keep some money on hand for a return plane ticket from Norfolk International. Welcome to Norfolk International Airport

With my income, it would have to be "Big shiny dog" (Greyhound). If the trailer wasn't paid for, I'd be living under a bridge in a cardboard box. It's bad enough that I haven't been able to repair all of the fire damage. No Insurance, Companies won't insure ancient trailers like mine (1975). With my daughter gone, I have no reason to work on it anyway. Great place in Missoula, Mt., Home Resources, sells used/recycled building materials really cheap. Couldn't have done any of the repairs without them. (Home Resource).
