[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 717132, member: 17635"] My son, who I post frequently about on this forum,...when he was in an especially bad spot years ago (around age 21?), i got him to our family clinic for anti-depressants or whatever the dr. thought might be good. As Difficult Child and I were in the tiny waiting room, Difficult Child kept sticking his tongue out, over and over again.... so i would see his new tongue piercing. I chose to ignore it. Although it grossed me out, I was most bothered because I knew he was in such bad shape when he got it. That was the last time I ever saw that tongue ring (or whatever it is called). Looking back, I do not think that piercing had anything to do with his dad and me. Showing it to me 100X in the doctor's office was most likely a message to us. It really did not matter because Difficult Child was in such bad shape at that time. I am telling you this, knowing these are two different circumstances, but with the idea that it may have just been a message your daughter wanted to send at that moment. In her mixed up feelings, she felt strength in showing you that she did not care; she was calling the shots for her life. In another month, she might not want to express that in the same way at all. These offspring of ours have so much going on in their heads, it seems to be all over the place with their behaviors and stances they take. Hang in there. SS P.S. When I blocked our Difficult Child on my cell, he sent a hateful email asking how a Christian could block their own child. o_O [/QUOTE]
