DEAR ABBY: My 17-year-old daughter, "Erica," is planning to marry her 24-year-old boyfriend. I use the term "boyfriend" loosely because their relationship consists entirely of texting, talking on the phone and the Internet. There has been no dating or getting to know each other in person. Erica is intent on marrying this man even though he has lied to her several times in addition to having lied to us. She is planning to attend a four-year college.
I\'m not sure how to handle this. She hid the relationship from us for more than six months. I realize Erica needs to make her own mistakes, but I\'m not sure how to make her understand my very real concern about this. Any advice would be appreciated. -- NEEDS HELP IN VIRGINIA
