[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 673214, member: 19522"] Oh SF, it is tough, dealing with our teens. They can be so dang snarky. Add all the other stuff, exhausting. I feel you. 100%. (((HUGS))) Me too, 13? Uh uh. It's bad enough being my age with raging hormones, gray hair and wrinkles,I say to myself, "Geez, why do we have to go through puberty twice?" Really, menopause is an "un-puberty"...I digress.. Eggshells, no fun. Less is more. Little things mean a lot. Secret notes in her back pack. "I really love you and am proud of you, you can do this." Kids that age love notes. She is probably scared, too SF. I know it is a while before she sees a therapist. Hang in there and be yourself. Small doses of love do wonders. Remember to take time for yourself too. I hope that is possible. We are all so swamped now a days. I saw something really cool on Facebook. A SPED teacher decided to create a daily ritual for his SPED kids. He sat in his chair at the front of the class, and each of the kids would walk up to him, and he would tell them kind, caring positive things. He said the transformation was amazing. The kids started to be kinder to one another. Doesn't have to be a speech. A favorite little treat. A wink, a smile. Read her homework and point out her smartness. Little stuff. Hang in there SF. You are not alone. We are here pulling for you and your girl to come through this. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
