I Don't Know

I got my explanation. Part of me understood. 18, you can do anything you want with your life, throw caution to the wind and go nuts. Another part of me says, [i]you talked to that person online for [b]two months[/b] and now you want to[/i] live [i]with them?[/i]...idiot.
Then there's that judgy, dark part of myself that's absolutely disgusted. It's this running theme again: she wants parents. *sigh* Kid, you've gone your whole childhood with lousy parents and people who couldn't play the role you wanted them to. You're an adult now. It's too late. Running off to live with people you don't really know who want to play house with you...I am disgusted and creeped out by people who play surrogate online. "I'm talking to my online mom," she's said before. "My online dad says" blah blah blah... It's sad and disturbing to me. I hope she doesn't end up dead. Really, who even [i]are[/i] these people?
I'm worried, but I'm telling myself she's 18 and she can make her own decisions and mistakes. I can't see how this can ever be a good thing. What do you need a [i]mommy and daddy[/i] for? Grow up. These people have your best interest at heart? Do you even care? Maybe it's like she said "I don't want to think. I need someone to tell me what to do."
