I have just found out by accident that my 16 year old DD took emergency contraception today. I was looking for the bike keys which she had had last, and found the box in her bag with the empty pill packet, together with a receipt. She is not here at the moment so I can't talk to her about it. She has seemed fine these past couple of days but this morning complained of a stomach ache and that she thought her (chronic) gastritis was coming back. I now suspect but don't know, that this was an excuse in case the pill made her feel ill. I just don't know how to handle this. I feel very hurt that she didn't tell me, but she has always been quite closed and secretive, and we have been trying to work through this together. I am also very worried that she may have picked up an std. I also feel quite angry that she took a risk, knowing the possibility of this, especially in view of the fact that she has not had the HPV vaccination either, having been off school at the time it was offered and with a needle phobia. I know some people will say if I had a better relationship with her she would open up to me but it has been my experience that for some individuals it simply isn't so. We are not especially strict parents and have encouraged her to meet her friends now lockdown is easing, but now I would feel very worried about what is happening whilst she is away. How would you handle it?
