Hi.
I am here longing for some advice. I’ll try to be brief. In a nutshell Ive learned that my 16 yr old snuck a boy in our house while we were at work and sent a photo (innapropriate) to him in the past. We’ve since punished her to what we think is appropriate removing devices, grounding…
I am not one to make this judgement lightly just because she is my daughter but I sensed in her such anguish and not because it was found out (No intimacy) but because she is a sweet girl that made a poor and dangerous choice which we fully explained. She confided that she prayed God would forgive her. I believe the Holy Spirit is at work in her as I honestly believe her sincere regret and her good heart. This caught us by surprise precisely because she is so kind hearted. Her bad judgment hurt my heart and now that she is cut off from communication with boy I’m trying to balance calming her broken heart with appropriate tough love. For any parents with similar scenarios during the teen years, any general advice on how to handle the next few days/weeks are greatly appreciated.
