DW: My Response to Holly's Porn Parents Blog

Holly asked me what I would do if she were my daughter. Here's my response:

1. Speak to my therapist about how my child's parenting might have impacted her decision
2. Accept responsibility for whatever I may have contributed
3. Find a porn parents support group
4. Tell my daughter that it breaks my heart to see her involved in something that feels so
self-annihilating
5. Admit that I am powerless to impact her choices
6. Tell her that I don't support her career choice, have no interest in seeing her films, photos, or eBay auction items, but will always be her parent and help her out if she's ever in trouble or simply needs to talk
7. Make sure my wine cellar was fully stocked at all times
8. Pray for detachment and focus on my own life
9. Try not to hate myself (which would naturally be the most difficult)
