Very true, I tend to do that alot also.. I'm hoping when it is time to have that talk with my daughter I have the sensibility to do it the right way so it sinks in and doesn't sound like (rahh rah rahhh rah rahhh rahh). I do end up feeling like I'm preaching and it sounds like B.S. but if I could stop at least one person from making some of the mistakes I did, I would be a happy man.

Ryan...what matters to me are *your* needs. You need to talk. They can choose whether or not to listen. Your soul is clean either way. You tried sharing what you learned the hard way. Someday, that one person will arrive and listen when you talk and it will all have been worth your effort.
When it's time to have that talk with your daughter you'll have laid down a lifetime of groundwork that will make her listen to you, as you will have earned your credibility. She may try a few things that will make your blood run cold, but if she knows she can talk to you about anything, she always will.
