[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 184631"] Trinity - I have wondered the same myself. It seems like every time she has a good time, it has to end badly. Or if she goes somewhere she was excited to go, it was no fun at all. I don't know if it's the comfort of being miserable or if the expectations are so high they can never be met. Dazed - I've done the same with my daughter. [B]This is how I sound when I yell!!! [/B]She covered her ears. It only stopped her for a week. Maybe. Witz - I'm sure there is some truth to that - she would have rather spent her time at the mall with friends. I think it falls into the whole expectations thing. KTMom - Isn't it sad how they seem so incapable of finding that peace? If I haven't addressed you individually, please don't take it as a slight. I appreciate each of you for taking the time to respond, lend your support and understanding, and hugs. She went to the waterpark a few weeks ago. She was so excited about going. Of course, it wasn't any fun, it was boring, she got sunburned (even though she used sunscreen) and she got scraped up on her knees and ankles from one ride (that did turn into an inflammatory reaction that required a doctor visit and an rx). But, from the second she got home she was going on how about horrible it was. She went with easy child, his girlfriend, her sister (who is the same age as Wynter and Wynter knows her from school) and they all said she seemed to be having a good time. I finally asked her, did you laugh at all while you were there? She said, not really. Ok, well not really is not, not at all...so again, did you laugh? Well, I laughed a little at the end of one ride. I told her then that at that moment you were having a good time and those are the times you have to remember and build on. Maybe one day it'll get through. [/QUOTE]
