I had this great post written and lost it!
My daughter is 15 and having a hard time. I remember being that age, not a little girl any more who needs constant guidance any more, but not a woman yet. It's a hard place to be.
Honestly, I'm having a hard time too. I'm trying to learn to let go a little bit while my heart wants to hold on. And of course we're having the classic battle over a boy and phone time. I'm trying to set reasonable guidelines and she's not taking it well.
She's been crying and hysterical, and told me she wanted to go live with her dad. She's convinced that I'm trying to keep her from this boy, but I'm just trying to keep her off the phone all night long and get her back to normal.
I was hurt and upset. And honestly, I didn't handle it well at all. I told her to go ahead and leave. That I was tired of dealing with her attitude.
Not my best parenting moment.
I'm not sure how to handle this.
