P.S. By the time I was 13 I was already a full-blown caretaker. I was already seeking out those who needed advice and to be supervised and "fixed," surrounded myself with dysfunctional people to take care of. It was not until I was 29 years old that I even discovered that I was this way for a reason, that I was codependent. Please Google and get some books or other materials for her to read so that she can understand this very important issue that she is sure to be confronted with. The earlier in life she begins to understand herself and why she does the things she does, the easier it will be for her to avoid them and the better off she will be in the long-run. I am in my mid-40s and still battling myself because of growing up with an alcoholic parent.
