DEAR ABBY: I am a single parent of two girls. My oldest, “Becca,” is 17. She has been dating this guy and, as soon as she graduates, plans to move in with him and two of his friends (another couple). What worries me is that their relationship is pretty toxic. They are always fighting. I have begged her not to move in with him, but she won’t budge.
Becca has some abandonment issues. Her mom left us when Becca was a baby, and my second wife was emotionally abusive to everyone before we divorced. I think this is why Becca refuses to see how bad her own relationship is.
How can I show Becca she is making a huge mistake? I don’t want her ending up stuck in a horrible relationship. I’m also worried about her getting pregnant right away because neither of them can control themselves. Please help. — SINGLE DAD IN ARIZONA
