[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 130161, member: 1514"] Nancy, I know I have told you before how I have seen glimpses of myself in your daughter. The major difference has been that your daughter has parents who fight tooth and nail for her. I still think she will come through this with time. I was awful and swore I hated my parents...especially my dad because he was strict with me. I didnt want to be a thing like him...EVER! Hmmm...this apple didnt fall far from his tree in many ways. I even got the same degree in college that he did...lol. The years between now and when she is fully grown will probably be very tough ones. She is going to be trying to find her independence and sense of self in ways that knows will upset you. Hopefully this will be short lived and she will grow into maturity much faster than boys do. If it helps any, I really quit being a total bonehead at about 21. I still had many lessons I needed to learn but I did learn to be law abiding and a good parent by then. Have your read My Mother/My Self by Nancy Friday? It might be a good read for you first and then to pass on to your daughter. I read it years ago but am seriously thinking about buying another copy to take into therapy with me. [/QUOTE]
