Yes, talking with your daughter in a “friendly conversational” manner can be extremely difficult when she is telling you about many things you know are not healthy and you particularly disagree with. But as of now, even if you have already put much effort into trying to keep them apart, they are still sneaking around so it would be at the very least good to get as much information you can about their relationship. This means you have to try and talk to your daughter in this “friendly conversational” way. It actually is a good thing that she is encouraging you to talk with her and be her “friend” because this means that she is willing to communicate (an issue other troubled teens’ parents struggle with). Take this opportunity, and as harsh as it may sound to the ear, let her tell you about what’s going on in a manner where she’ll feel comfortable sharing. Use this information to impart to her the advice you really want to give her but in a way which she won’t notice as controlling. In many cases, teens do tend to listen to their friends even more than their parents. If you try it this way, she may just be more accepting to it. Good luck!
