eimSD,
I feel like I have a very close relationship with my kids. They share good times as well as problems with me. At the same time, I am sure there is much that they don't share, nor do I expect them to.
What is your D doing that you feel is dishonest? You see her drinking a beer on FB, but when you ask her if she drinks, she says "No". Is that the kind of dishonesty you are referring to? To what extent should you be questioning your kids? I believe that they are 18, and if you think you did a fair job raising them, your job is done. She is bringing home good grades, is happy and involved in school, she needs to lead her own life now. Maybe the reason she is "lying" to you, is that you are probing too much, and she does not want to face judgement and criticism.
WHAT I would worry about far more, is that her FB is open, and you, as a stranger can read, and see pictures. That is definitely a problem for her. Even though you like having that peephole into her life, you should advise her to make it exclusive to friends she chooses, and caution her about the photos she puts up.
