[QUOTE="Star*, post: 269946, member: 4964"] Nancy, I think over the years despite whatever your difficult child has thrown at you, you've remained a rock solid person. Someone I admire very much. I'm sorry I missed your post and wasn't able to give you any sage advice for this occasion. I'm happy that your husband was able to urge you into going to watch the photo shoot. Despite our children being so ugly inside on occasion it's amazing how beautiful they are on the outside. I think what happens as they mature is that THEY themselves are able to find something on the inside that makes them feel beautiful or good or happy. When you feel ugly inside all the time it's impossible to feel pretty on the outside. When you don't feel pretty? It's easy to be ugly to others becaue you just don't care. When they finally do have that lightbulb moment - or when their deal with their higher power comes to fruition it's an amazing thing to watch happen after all the years of struggling and crying. I'm sure your daughter was upset for whatever she said to you more than you think. As far as advice? Ugh - I drive around with my dog and talk to him. I'm sure his ears are shorter than they would have been without me talking them off. Personally I didn't want a place to cry as much as I wanted a place to scream, but have found a lot of solace in Nomads #6. I learned to just walk away hurt, and quickly busy myself with other things that really needed my attention. If I ever tried retail therapy? I'd be living in a box. Our lives are not for sissies.
