[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 106865, member: 3450"] It's really hard at that age (14) because you still need to exert parental control and yet you have to let go too. It gets easier as they get older and you realize you really cannot control them or the situations they get themselves into. Then it is easier to accept that the only person you really have any control over is yourself. Hoping you can get some therapy, maybe, to help you through this. I know it really helped me when I was dealing with difficult child 1 and difficult child 2 when they were younger. I felt like I had no idea what to do, was always second guessing myself and feeling horrible when I felt I had made a wrong decision and it always seemed I was making the wrong decision! I needed to be able to have someone support me who could help guide me and also let me know I was doing a good job in the face of some awful circumstances. Thinking of you, Jane [/QUOTE]
