I know I did the wrong thing by going through my daughter's bag... but I'm so shaken by what I found. Should I confront her? Tread carefully says CAROLINE WEST-MEADS... here's why
Q Recently I went through my 17-year-old daughter's bag – I am really not proud of this, but I was worried because she had been withdrawn and not quite herself – and was horrified to discover a packet for the morning-after pill.
After the initial shock, I am now torn. While I'm glad she has behaved responsibly, albeit after the event, I'm heartbroken that she didn't feel she could talk to me. We've always been close, or so I thought. It has made me question what else she might be keeping from me.
