HI Everyone,
I have not joined in the forums in several years, I have been busy raising my daughter and, well, with life. We are now approaching the age 13 and I realize I am going to need these forums (and others) more than ever!
I apologize for the forward nature of my subject title but I admit, I am kind of freaking out.
I am a single mom, its just my daughter and I and we have a pretty close relationship. Granted lately she is like a different person, angry and frustrated more but I know hormones are raging.
But recently I had confronted her (about a month and a half ago) because I had been concerned about her dark mood and looked in some of her papers and she had written down a 'private' note that she had looked at porn and it listed the web address.
I confronted her and at first she denied it then admitted it and cried a lot. I tried not to shame her but told her I would monitor the computer use. I have not been monitering her itouch however since she reads books on it and I honestly don't know how to check the history on an itouch.
Anyway, I recently had to recover some lost data on my computer and through the recovery process It recovered a lot more than I expected; there were images of other websites she had visited and some of them are showing teenagers partaking in this graphic porn! I don't know if this is from before I confronted her but I am really worried and concerned.
She is at her dad's this weekend, she is safe with him, he's a good guy but I need to confront her again I think but I need some guidance here----have any of you dealt with this? Know anything about this? I really appreciate any and all advice!!
