Dear Queenie,
My daughter, who is only 15, has been seeing an older man who I happen to know has a criminal record and sells and uses drugs.
Queenie, how can I convince her this guy is really bad for her?—Worried mother
Dear Mother,
If your daughter thinks she is “in love” with this man she is not going to like (or listen to) anything negative you say about him. If you are certain that he is selling drugs you could report him to the police.
Meanwhile, I would recommend professional counselling for you and your daughter, to help her learn to make more mature decisions.
