[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 24412, member: 831"] Nah, there's no secret. At least, not a deep dark one. She was just trying to get a rise out of me. When she gets in that frame of mind she will blurt things she regrets later (but then, don't most of them do that?). I had secrets as a teenager, too. So, I understand she may a few herself. Daughter is the reigning QUEEN of drama. Always has been since she was little. Drives me nuts. Most of the time I can detach, but every once in a while, she will catch me in a weak moment. Then, next thing I know, it's a screaming match between her and I. Yes, she's a pretty good kid. Certainy not perfect by any means. I've caught her in a couple of lies that earned her some tough consequences. The middle school years were horrible. High school, though still tough for her emotionally, are nothing compared to those times. I still shudder when I think back about them. medications and therapy have helped a lot. She's talking about getting her drivers permit. My first thought was, "yeah, right". But, then I decided to make it a carrot for her. I told her there was no way I was putting her behind the wheel of a car until she grows up and begin to act a bit more reasonable and mature. She's still very impulsive. My sense of humor is my saving grace. It always has been. I'm pretty high strung emotionally (Gee, where DOES Daughter get the gift of drama from??)and the ability to sometimes find the humor in a situation with my difficult children helps me not to feel so down at times. Between her, and son, fighting and then the two of them trying to do their version of a WWF Smackdown in the livingroom, and everything else, it's nice to manage a little laughter. [/QUOTE]
