[QUOTE="klmno, post: 147507, member: 3699"] It sounds like she really wanted some time alone with you too- just to "work out" some things that were bothering her. I'm sorry it was just in the middle of the night. That is probably the time when these things surface in her mind. Hair- mine is exactly the way you described hers. I have to use a conditioner - and only certain brands will work. Then I apply a little anit-frizz, restorative "lotion" that doesn't get rinsed out, right after towel-drying. No blow-dryer or curling iron- it makes it worse - unless hair is trimmed VERY often. Also, I wash my hair at night, not in the morning, on most occassions. difficult child had to get a prescription medication for acne- the OTC kind didn't work for him. Then again, none of these things will really SOLVE the problem- you are right that her happiness and acceptance of herself need to come from within, and I am sure she is beautiful just the way she is!! :its_all_good: :beautifulthing: It sounds like you are a great Mom and she trusts you and you have a great relationship- it is a good sign for her to be opening up to you about all her insecurites!! :bravo: :applause: I wonder if it would help the late-night part of this if you initiated conversations with her earlier in the evening- maybe find a little one to one private time just for the two of you to talk about things in a relaxed situation- before it hits her at 3:00 am!! Hope you can stay awake and have a good day!! :coffee2: [/QUOTE]
