Carol Yepes/Getty Images My 19-year-old daughter is in a healthy relationship, and watching her be in love has been a gift. She and her boyfriend supported each other through tough teenage years. Their differences make them stronger, and they love each other while remaining independent. My 19-year-old daughter, Cameran, has been in a relationship for several years, and it has helped her grow into who she wants to be. She met her boyfriend, Casey, when they were 16 at a campground during the summer, and he lived about 35 minutes from us. Casey started as a friend and quickly became someone Cam could rely on. The teenage years weren't easy. Cameran struggled to find her footing after the pandemic, as so many teens did.
