Shalom Trudy,
How devistating for your family and your daughter.As a parent to many childen, I feel your concerns and the need to protect our young as well. as for your daughter; If old enough to have children please try to remember that we were all this age at one time. Some of our children have gone to very drastic lengths to leave home to join the world, the world not only welcomes this but actively encourages it, some states even way well for a child to leave and turn away from their families.
Try to remain in prayer and when you pray with you daughter, please try to seek YHWHs will and understanding.
Do you know this man? Have you tried to invite him to Sabbath dinner or ?? Do you trust your daughter? Please I urge you to be gentle with your daughter, I have lost daughters and cry daily, nightly, and I only asked minimal respect issues to be followed, no matter, how painful the world can be. Remember we all make good choices and bad choices, it is a part of life.I urge you to understand litle is worse than loosing a child who by some clueless concept, thinks a parents love means they must be perfect??? I still lack understanding, I love my daughters so much, yet their ??friends?? who lied. One boy told my daughter, Star, "if you can get out from under your mothers rules, I'll marry you". Many times I tried to understand, but the sneaking out and the bring a boy in the home when I was away, were hard. Or saying I am going to stay the night with my girlfriend, and how angry she was when I discovered different, by sheer accident. Our home plans had changed, when we tried to reach our daughter at her friends discovered the friend had zero clue, well then my daughter , well... is a long story and more painful than you can imagine...
By the way, this daughter wound up going to the court and through the state, see as a minor purgery does not matter ie children are allowed to lie in the system all they wnt, with zero reprocussions from the courts, zero forwarning, not a clue to us, would have never dreamed my daughter could have or would have ever acted in such a way, oh even her attorney was paid big bucks of federally allotted funds for doing this.. Please even if you disagree with your daughters choices try to not show it, try to not say it, just pray for her and her companion, and try to be a nonjudgmental friend, yes friend to your daughter.
May YHWH bless all of us with these struggles and please pouron extra measures of protection to our children during these trying years, a time when even the best of parents hair turns grey.
Not only did I loose 1 daughter this way but 2, with zero clue that it was happening. they had zero home rulse got to do what ever they wanted, no chores and the government gave them 2,500 monthly each plus a food allowence and medical care, and education grants, hard for values and love to compete over that, sad but true, neither even admit that their parents are alive and love them very much.
Shalom,
