As long as she's okay.

She came home.

Thats a massive blessing… she’s safe.

Thank you that's true. I moved her mattress into our room last night. Maybe needed to feel that safety.

Sure. She’s your child. You do whatever you think is best.

What about her coming home drunk devastated you?

Be kind to yourself. 16 yos do much worse than getting drunk at a dance.

Thank you, you're right. I have such high hopes and I guess I fooled myself into believing that she'd be unscathed by high school. Naive.

I’m sorry to hear that. Be empathetic to her, talk about why she was drinking and what your concerns are regarding that.

Like everyone else said, be thankful she returned safely 🫂

I've avoided talking much today, want to get my emotions under control. Good advice I'm going to use it thanks.
