I want to do right by my daughter. I want to make sure that I am providing her as much support as possible to make the best decisions possible for herself. I'm never going to be able to handcuff her and tell her never to drink. I'm not actually sure that I want her to never drink. I don't genuinely know the answer to that question. But I do think that there are things that we can be doing for our children that are at least going to help equip them to have the information and the stories that they need to make the best decisions.
