Quote From: piddy419Obviously you DO NOT have children. As a mother I would never give up say goodbye and good luck knowing that my child (no matter what age) is in danger. Katherine's family has every reason to have doubts and fears for her saftey. She is in the Middle East for Gods sake, and our country is at war. You nerture them when they are small, help them thru the teen years and watch them grow as adults, but you never GIVE UP ON THEM. Yes she's making the mistake of her life, but she may never get the chance to be sorry about it.
I have 2 grown children. I will never give up on them as long as I have a pulse. I have never been in a situation like this particular one, but my children certainly do thier own thing and I am always here for them. It's what I do. They are now 21 and 26. I cannot imagine them being a world away. Katherine is only 18 , and even though she is legally an adult, she still has a lot of maturing to do. If she were my daughter I would feel the same way that her family feels about her. She has no idea how fortunate she is to have a family that cares about her. A lot of people are not that fortunate. And very few end up on the DrP show with all of this additional assistance. I hope she takes advantage of everything that is being offered and gets her life back on track.
