[QUOTE="Andy, post: 316756, member: 5096"] Jen, I am sorry! I have gone through that disconnect with Diva. It truly breaks my heart. The memories of a happy child turned to extreme mom hater makes me cry a lot. My Diva has chosen to listen to her "friends" to try to get through life. That doesn't work so well. I don't have any hard evidence that she has smoked, taken drugs, or has had sex but most of her friends have (3 of her 5 girlfriends have babies). I think I may be in denial if she has - I just can't accept it still if it is true. The disrespect she shows me and her brother and even sometimes her dad is so incrediably huge. She has fought hard and long to push us out of her life while at the same time trying to convince others that we are having nothing to do with her. What makes it the worst is when others really fall for her pity party. If her so called adult "friends" would uphold her father and I instead of going along with her stories and whining, she would be a happier person. Anyway, Diva is now 19 so I have pretty much cut the cord. She has made her stand of where she wants to be and she will have to live with her stupid choices such as discontinuing her education (and she has more resources than most to pay for a college education), not getting a good paying job (you can not live on $2 per hour babysitting when you are over 18 yrs old), and running around all night and into the next morning. Nothing I can do about it. I thought my pain was intense. I know it does not compare to what you are going through. However, I do understand what you are facing. All we can do is scream, cry, and pray. They do know what we approve and disapprove of them doing. At a certain point, we just have to stop reminding them. [/QUOTE]
