[QUOTE="DDD, post: 573270, member: 35"] I had one daughter who was overweight, had to wear braces, was taller than most kids in her classes and had acne. It was a painful time in her life and because I loved her so much it was difficult for me too. She has turned into an awesome woman with a huge caring heart...and attractive, too. I can guarantee you that you can not control your daughter's eating habits and if "everyone" is eating snacks, denying her snacks is not going to help the situation. I'm sure it is more difficult to parent challenging teens when you have anxiety issues as an adult. Although I totally (and yes I do mean totally!) understand having to live on a budget, I strongly believe that both you and she need to have the support of a professional counselor. I believe your Mom is trying to "fill that gap" but my impression is that although her intentions are honorable she is preventing you from becoming an independent parent with self confidence. Now you have had the meeting with the DA it is likely a good time to seek out good therapists. Chances are the State will fund your efforts. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
