Well, I hesitated on commenting about this Starkers, but maybe it will help. I remember waking up in the middle of the night to my parents crying; often. My sister often ran away and had a very troublesome youth. I do not need to go into it all, but many of her decisions brought about a rough life for herself. I bring it up, because after a time, her favorite saying was "when you hit the end of the road, go straight". She wised up to this world and became a solid pillar in the community. A woman of faith, and one that people craved to be around.
If you make any mistakes with your daughter, make them on the side of compassion. She will come around in the end.
