Help needed - affair & mental health

My 17 yo Dd has a history of mental health issues but recently seems to be ok. She is still seeing a counsellor once a week. She dropped out of college as she couldn't cope and took up a job in a shop. This is her only focus in life at the moment and she seems to enjoy it. For context, about a year ago my ds found some suicide notes in her room. Since then I've occasionally looked in her room.

She's stayed at her friends about 3 times over the past few months and I've had my suspicions that she has a boyfriend and has been with him instead as things just didn't stack up. However today I found a booking in her room and she's actually been with her boss at a hotel (he's married with kids).

What the hell do I do? I also have a suspicion she may be pregnant but no real evidence for this apart from not having a drink over Christmas. Should I confront her? She'd know I've been in her room. I'm so scared about her mental health. All she has in life is this job? Please help with how I deal with this.

I'm really sorry, I don't have any advice but didn't want to read & run.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do to stop your DD at her age, you can't exactly stop her leaving the house. A calm chat with her might help her see that she's in a precarious position

Hugs for you Thanks
