[QUOTE="slsh, post: 272945, member: 8"] Oh Nancy - many hugs to you! I'm so sorry she's destroying this rite of passage for both herself and her family. What are her plans post HS? Is she planning on moving out? Are you prepared for that process? I wish I had some healing words for you. I don't. I'm finding thank you's transition to adulthood to be an incredibly hurtful experience. On the bad days, I wonder if any of what I've done in the past 14 years made a difference, or if it was worth it. Only time will tell. Do take care of yourself, Nancy. Be kind to yourself. Her choices are hers. I think the only thing left to do now is learn how to insulate yourself from her choices. I think maybe that's the second to last lesson we have to learn as parents of difficult children, and so far, for me anyway, it's the hardest. I pray that the final lesson will be how to reconcile. Many hugs, Nancy. I'm truly truly sorry you're going thru this. [/QUOTE]
