Please try to keep this situation in perspective. Think of this as if you were looking back at it ten years from now. Do you know what will be the most pressing points? It’s all about your relationship. That’s why you’re most angry, most hurt. The “thing” that also bothers you is her drinking, but this is just a typical teenage behavior. It could have been drugs or sex. None of those are “easy” topics to deal with as a parent, but remember to keep this in perspective and keep your relationship a priority. Explain your disappointment and concerns, but be sure she knows that she is loved. That’s what really matters.
