[QUOTE="totoro, post: 160802, member: 3155"] Such a hard one... Mommy heart. You know I have Bipolar Disorder, but regardless, when I was her age yes I had lots of issues, but i always knew, no-one was going to bail me out. As I read more and more, that seems to the common theme. That the person realized they had to do something on their own. They only had support, to an extent. I knew my Dad was not going to help me if I messed up. I am not saying it was the best, I got into LOTS of trouble... but it made me smart and real responsible very fast... I made it to my job, to school, made the honor role, did my own laundry, was out on my own at 17... (I knew how to always stay one step ahead of everyone) was it good? eventually I learned to get it all together. I agree with the others, even though it is easier said than done... I know what I want for my kids, can I always do it??? I hope. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
