A few months ago my elder daughter, who is twenty-five... told me that she was moving out to live on her own. Later I found out that she had a boyfriend and had been sleeping at his house. That broke my heart into pieces, and I didn’t see her or talk to her for several [...]

My daughter is fourteen and very intelligent. She does well in school, but has told me that she thinks she is in love with a young man. It scares me to let her have a boyfriend when she is still so young. It could cut short her studies. Besides, for me dating is a step [...]
