My daughter, who had always been a mature, responsible child, had suddenly begun to act out of character. She was sneaking out of the house and coming home late. And I had a feeling that she was seeing someone behind my back.
I had to do something. I had to take action. So I decided to hire a private investigator.
I had heard stories of overprotective fathers before, but I never thought I would become one. But I felt like I had no other choice. My daughter was making decisions that I didn’t approve of and I had to figure out what was going on.
I was nervous about what I might find out, but I felt like I had to do something. I had to know who she was seeing and why she was doing these things.
I started my research and eventually found a private investigator who seemed reputable and experienced. I hired him and asked him to look into my daughter’s activities.
That was a few weeks ago and now I’m still waiting for the results. I’m anxious to find out who my daughter is seeing and what she is up to.
The private investigator has been sending me regular updates and so far he has found out that my daughter is seeing a boy who is a few years older than her. He also discovered that the boy had a criminal record and had been arrested for a few minor crimes.
This was a huge red flag for me and I was furious that my daughter was seeing such a person. I was determined to find out more about him and his intentions with my daughter.
The private investigator had also discovered that the boy had a history of cheating on his girlfriends. This was further confirmation that he wasn’t a suitable partner for my daughter.
I was relieved to know that my daughter was safe from this boy and that she had not been in any physical danger. However, I was still concerned about the emotional and psychological effects of dating a person with a criminal record.
I had a long talk with my daughter and warned her about the dangers of dating someone like that. I told her that she should stay away from this boy and find someone who was more suitable.
My daughter was understanding and promised that she would stay away from him. She ran back to her room and cried.
I don’t know if I did the right thing or was I over protective?
