I agree with you ((AAAAA)). I've been honest with my girls so far and told them details over the years. I was worried this might affect their own choices later in life or I was also worried it might make them cynical towards relationships. I even told my husband, he might be setting his girls up to make bad choices relationship wise. So I point out what a real relationship should be like - as far as honesty, loyalty and respect for each other and how they shouldn't tolerate their husband not coming home at night or at 3:00 am in the morning.

My daughters friends are starting to get BF's and one of her best friends just got out of a verbally abusive relationship. My daughter recognized the red flags in her relationship and tried to warn her friend but the friend wouldn't listen. That boy would verbally abuse her friends and even tried to cyber bully my daughter. Finally the girl broke up with the boy and now he's bullying her. My kids seem to be doing alright but they can see how I'm not happy and I feel bad about that - this is why I have to call this lady tomorrow and start realizing what's ahead of me.
