[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 172983"] She's going to therapy, but she's going with the attitude that she doesn't want to be there, it doesn't do anything and it will just make her angry. She's the most stubborn person I've ever met, too. So, it will take quite some time, I think, for the therapist to even get to the point of being able to really work with her, Know what I mean?? Wynter is doing the Goth thing, too. Except, I'm not allowed to say that. For some reason she considers that making fun of her. I'm not making fun of her. It's a style, she likes it, she wears it. Her favorite store is Hot Topic. But, I'm not allowed to even hint at the words Goth or Gothic. And when she's decided that she's not a girly girl, I don't know. She has always been a girly girl. From the time she could walk, if something had a strap on it, it went on her shoulder. I thought it was so cute, especially because I didn't carry a purse at the time so she wasn't mimicking me. She's always loved dolls and girly things. She wore nothing but skirts until 5th grade and only stopped then because none of the other girls wore them. But, all of a sudden that is not her. Which is fine, but.... If I even mention something from when she was younger, I'm accused of comparing her to who she was then or of not liking her now because she's not who she was then. I have to weigh every. single. word. that. comes. out. of. my. mouth. And I still don't get it right every time. You know, you tell stories about your kids, you reminisce. People do it all the time, but if I do it now it's a recipe for a battle. Maybe she's trying to redefine herself in order to find something where she feels better? Maybe it's just part of the normal teenage process to go from one phase to another? It's just how worked up she gets over anyone even slightly and unintentionally hinting about something else. Or maybe she's decided she doesn't want to be a girly girl without really doing anything different because it's cool or something. Cause you know, some of things smack of....Me think one doth protest too much. [/QUOTE]
