Sounds like she's living her life and following her dreams and goals. If it doesn't work out, she'll move on to something else. Her dad should support her even if he does think she won't make it.
She's an adult. Let her find out on her own if it's a mistake. It sounds like her dad is just being controlling and doesn't want her around her mom. He needs to get over himself and be supportive of his daughter. He can feel she is doing the wrong thing, but it's not hurting her, so let her start to find her own feet in the world.

If trying as an actor and not succeeding is the biggest mistake she'll make as a 19 year-old, her Dad should count his blessings. Ashley is at the age where she can take those type of risks without seriously jeopardizing her future. I'd try to help her Dad realize that.

First of all I would get more information about this film agency.Then talk this out with parents together not one by one.because maybe the fathet may feel left out since he is at texas.ofcourse this girl since 19 cant think straigt at the moment.She thinks she will be Meg ryan or julia Roberts quiickly.
She will not back up now ofcourse.I think they should make a deal with her.Let her try and if it dont work out as the parents thought it would then she'll have to quit and return to what she was doing. I guess this is fair on everyone.

She needs to talk about things with her father. This is her dream and her mistake if she is making one. Parents have to realize, kids need to go on and make their mistakes so they can learn from them , just don't let the mistake get so large that is threatening her life. She needs to tell him it is not the end of the world and that he can come see her or the other way around. All of them together need to talk.

If depends how well she gets along with her mom. If she doesn't mind being away from dad, and she loves acting she should pursue it. Whether daddy likes it or not, its her life she should have her freedom, she's 19 years old

I say she goes on with it. If there is not a better chance for something she loves than now is the time. And she needs to tell her day she will make up for the days she was not with him.

She needs to make her own decisions. She needs to make sure she's not headed for a career in the porn industry, though, unless that's what she wants, of course.

She's your niece not your daughter.. Don't get in the middle of it.
If you have any influence I would ask her to discuss this with her father.

Let her do what she choses and hopefully learn from her mistakes. It could bring to something good.
