But you can set boundaries for yourself, including not subjecting yourself to distress at the hands of this teenager. You say, "I'm not in the position to have her visit right now. Perhaps she can spend some time with ______" and let that be the end of it. They can and will talk all they want, but unless you allow her to come, she won't be coming. You seem to be giving this girl and the rest of the family all the power to make this decision for you.
