[QUOTE="robinm1922, post: 243707, member: 6423"] Daisy, I really get where you are! I was the mom of the 13 year old with the pony tail, the honor student into karate lots of friends. Now I am the mom of a 15 1/2 year old majorly depressed girl that suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ODD and maybe ADD/ADHD. I find myself wondering when or how it got so bad so fast. Then I read a lot of the posts here and feel guilty for thinking that my situation is so bad because in comparison it isn't that bad. Then I find myself grieving for the 13 year old daughter that I had, in some ways I feel like I have lost her. Every now and then I see a glimmer of how she once was, I sure do miss her. Don't get me wrong I love my difficult child with all my heart and there isn't a thing in this world I wouldn't do for her but I miss my little girl! I know all about the envy, I look at some of my difficult child's friends and think you were just like them. Now she is becoming the kid other parents don't want their kids to hang with. Breaks my heart and all in all she is not a bad kid just turned around at the moment. Daisy I fully understand and empathise with you. I also believe we are given what we can handle and what will make us stronger in the end. Look we have all come together here! Hugs, Robin [/QUOTE]
