I’m worried my 16yr old daughter is being groomed online. I know about it from reading her diary so if I confront her I will lose her trust because I looked in her diary. She recently got diagnosed with ASD but high functioning. Due to this she has been under Camhs for about 3yrs before she got diagnosed. We have had many open discussions about her mental health and I thought we had quite an open honest relationship and I'm very reluctant to lose her trust, but this is different, she is hiding a particular relationship she has with someone online. I confronted her with something I found lying around but not the full details from her diary . She says she knows what she is doing, has safe boundaries, it’s all online and she’s 16 and “legal” . From her diary though, it seems she is planning to meet up with this person; I believe it’s an adult. What do I do? Do I confront her risking she will never forgive me, or keep aware and hope she doesn’t go through with it? She‘a planning to use a friend as an excuse when this meeting is supposed to take place, and we normally drive her everywhere, so I feel I know where she is - as much as you can a 16yr old! Any advice or anyone in same situation? Thanks in advance
