If she was on of my daughters, none of this would have ever happened. But since she’s Billy Ray’s daughter....
I know some people can say “if she was my daughter...” I’d do this or that. But as my real-life experience with my troubled daughter of 15 years ago or so, even the best of rearings and intentions cannot dictate the outcome. The forces against you and the roll of the dice on hormones, peer pressure, school environ, et al just don’t allow that sometimes. So, for me, knowing what I know now, what I said I’d do is what I would have done with my daughter then.
