At some point a parent has to allow their son/daughter to make their own
decisions. Those decisions may be either for the better or for the worse. One
can only hope that you as a parent have instilled in them the ability to
listen to those that care about them and to consider what advice they are 
given. As an adult the actual decision needs to be theirs. I realize that this
isn't the advise that you were wanting to hear. I would submit that what is
important is that they know and believe that regardless of their decision that
you as a parent will be there for them if needed. Children seem to learn best
by doing. Regardless of the outcome of that doing process.

Just my thought on the subject.


Jeff
