I thought about this post for a few days, really. My speciality is teen girls, depression. I am a LCSW with 11 years in the field. The fact of the matter that irks me the moat lately is the lack of boundaries in parent:child relationships. In my practice, I see kids burdened with the parents issues. So when initially I answered this post, I noted that I would tell the girl it's not of her business what her parents do in their personal sexual life. In tx, I would support her by exploring the feelings, disappointment, worries, fears etc. But still stress to her that your choices are yours. I might be having a different conversation with her if she was older but 16 year old girls are intelligent yet emotionally fragile at times. No matter what your daughter is going to need support and her being able to address get own feelings will be crucial. Just remember she is 16 and this lifestyle is very complicated and even adults cannot wrap their heads around what we do. My thoughts are with your family.
