My 19 year old daughter is sleeping with married men.

I am really worried about my daughter, she was abused by my eldest daughters fiance when she was 14 for a year, no one had any idea and when it all came out the whole family was torn apart. He was very manipulative and controlling and groomed her, took away all her innocence. It took about 2 years for things to become normal (as they can be) again and after counselling she seemed to be doing OK, she went to college, got her first job etc.

Its just ever since turning 18 she has started sleeping around a lot. Mainly with married men, I know this because she's quite open about it, she is also on dating sites and meets up with men for sex. She has told me before it doesn't bother her that they are married as they are the ones with commitments not her and she has nothing to lose. She likes older men, in their 30-40s and has told me she has slept with a 46 year old before. I have never seen her with boys her own age.

I am so worried because one day she is going to get in trouble. She just can't see that sleeping with married men is wrong, well she does but she doesn't care, she used to be a sweet shy girl before the abuse. I don't know what else to do i have told her what she does is wrong, I've also tried to get her back into counselling but she won't. I am wondering is it the abuse that has made her like this? Or am i just making excuses for her unacceptable behaviour? She has little friends, and soon she will start getting a bad name for herself where we live. She's not a bad teenager, she works, helps the round the house and is polite, she doesn't give me any grief and keeps herself to herself. Its just her attitude with this situation what I cannot understand, I didn't bring my children up to act this way.

What do I do, let her get on with it? She is an adult and its her personal life, but I still see her as my baby and still feel she needs looking after. I'm also worried about health risks, I've found numerous pregnancy tests so she's obviously not being careful and really don't want her catching a nasty disease. Or end up being pregnant with a married mans child. I've tried talking, and telling her its wrong and what she is doing is out of order. She just doesn't care, she is becoming very selfish .
Just really looking for advice on how to handle the situation, there's not much I can do, but it wouldn't feel right sitting back and watching her potentially ruin a family. I feel almost to blame as thought I had brought my children up with good morals and values but obviously I've done something wrong. Thanks:confused:
