DD, almost 18 met a 27 (just) yr old at a friends NYE party. They talked afterwards and have been in regular contact . She has arranged to meet him tonight. I thought it would just fizzle out. I don't know why he would be interested in DD. He knows she is doing her A levels. He has a job, is renting a flat with someone and has a car. Should I be worried? Would you be worried? Her dad is not happy , I'm uneasy, but I trust DD. She is nervous but just 1st date stuff. When I was her age I was involved with a 31 yr old divorcee. My mum had recently passed away and I had no-one to look out for me. I can see now that that was a very unhealthy relationship.
We are very close and she does tell me things. I know I am lucky there. I don't want to come down hard, I can't come down hard as she would just start lying. I think her dad somehow blames me for not stopping her going but she is nearly 18.
I'm not sure if I have messed up and how I could be playing this. Thoughts?
