My mom found out about a BF who I was madly "in love" with cheating on me at about the same age. She confronted him and he convinced her to keep it from me. Much later when I figured out he was a cheater on my own, I was FURIOUS with her for not telling me. I realize now that had she told me I would have been FURIOUS with her for telling me. Mothers can't win. Sad but true. I learned to keep my feelings about DD 's BF to myself (or at least away from her ears). I pray she figures out he is a bum on her own. Some nights DH and I want to vomit we have held in our feeling so long but I promised myself that I would allow DD to make her own decisions.
Please do not force your DD to sneak around by not allowing BF at the house. My mom did this to me and it taught me to lie to her . YOU DO NOT WANT THAT! She will probably not just break up with him cold turkey. She will eventually (probably) but she needs you Mom to support her and love her even if she chooses not to right now and he cheats on her again. It is how we learn unfortunately.
Sorry about the errors--when I post on the iPad it seems to send before I am ready.
