[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 208294, member: 5941"] Thank you ladies for your thoughts and best wishes. You are giving me strength. Busywend, she is on a middle school varsity cheerleading squad with 12 and 13 yr olds, no older kids. However, your point is well taken: she has been friends with girls who are a year older chronologically but act like they are 16. It's hard to make her completely avoid some of them as they are older sibs to her classmates...haven't figured that one out yet. But the loss of having friends over for the next 30 days is already sinking in. She decided to come home last night after trick or treating and not stay over her friend's house as she was insisting she could, and would. We talked about the science project and I think that was just an excuse for staying home, I don't think she was really worried about it. She snorted but did not argue when I drove a girlfriend home from teh party instead of letting her crash at my house, as I normally would have. This young lady needs to talk to a therapist one on one, she is a simmering pot of emotions and hormones and rages. She told me that she does meet weekly or biweekly with the school s/w and a group of other girls, but I can't rely on the school to take the place of a personal therapist. Making up my list of demands from my kids today and drinking a cup of fennel tea (I've been watching a nutritionist reality show on BBC America that makes morbidly obese Brits go on a two month vegetarian detox plan -- the eating plan is actually making me feel much better). Ah, Saturdays! [/QUOTE]
