In reply to Daughter's inapropriate sexual behavior, posted by Gigi on October 20, 1999, at 8:29:02
This is not something that I want anyone here to know about.
With all compassion Gigi, your daughter is just one piece of the problem.
A. Daughter, dealing with that rush of hormones and possibly clinically depressed/biploar.
She has probably been "screaming" for attention from her "important" father for a long
time. Plus, the only power she has is to rattle YOUR cage!
B. Husband's denial.
C. Your concern about what "others" may think (although there may be a very good reason, but
i'm just going on the info given).So, A+B+C = screwed-up family dynamics
She is NOT operating in a vacuum.Believe me, I know all about this because I was your daughter 30y ago. Not
only was my father "absent" in my life but my parents fought constantly.
In addition, I was sexually molested by my grandfather. This may or may not
be the case with her but don't rule it out. I suppressed my artistic
talents for 30y and although I am finally on the road to recovery, that
time is gone forever. Although this is not the "help" you may have been
seeking here, my heart is with you. Don't quit! try to get the entire family
involved in counseling - if possible you might look into an "intervention" if
you have some trusted friends/peers. This may be the most thing you ever do
in your life.
