My adult daughter is destroying her life

My daughter is an adult and she has EUPD. She’s had years and years of therapy but threw away chances that could have made a huge difference. She has always gravitated to “bad” men since her early teens but I know that I can’t do anything about it any more because she is an adult. I initially liked her latest BF but I have changed my mind since. I was informed that both of them have uploaded explicit video material to porn sites and it’s bad. I am refusing to watch any of it but I know that DD is clearly identifiable in the videos. He is not apart from his tattoos. I spoke to her about it and she is fully aware and content for the videos to be out there, and she doesn’t seem to care or understand the implications of it all
I know that I can’t do anything about this because she is an adult but I am afraid that this will just be the beginning of another downward spiral and it’s so difficult to accept and watch unfold. Just sharing to put it out there because I feel so powerless and I know that this will end so so badly. It feel like this will never end

@MatterofTime24 I don’t think it’s ok to have multiple posts from people bleating on that they don’t know what it means… just google it!

The OP sent a heartfelt message about a serious situation - 10% of sufferers die by suicide and the OP’s daughter had already made two suicide attempts. If you don’t know what it is then don’t respond - it derails things.

It's not common knowledge. These new 'psychiatric' terms are turning up all the time. Until recently my late nephew had Asperger's - now it's called ASD. New terminology needs explaining.
