I READ THIS STATEMENT THE OTHER DAY,
"IS WHAT I'M DOING AND WHAT I'M SAYING BRINGING US CLOSER TOGETHER, OR PUSHING US FURTHER APART?"
I NEED TO KEEP THIS IN MIND. WITH ANY RELATIONSHIP!! RIGHT NOW, WITH MY DAUGHTER. WE ARE NOT SEE THINGS CLEARLY; FROM HER VIEW AND MY VIEW. BUT I KNOW SHE FEELS LIKE I'M NOT BEING SUPPORTIVE. I THINK I AM BUT MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING I DO NOT SEE.
TIME WILL ONLY TELL. SHE IS ALSO A TEENAGE. ~~ REBEL STAGE!!!
It's so hard when your a parent, trying to do and say the right things. I wish I could help, my kids are not yet at those dreadful teenage years.
ReplyDeleteIf you feel your being supportive, you probably are, and it's her that doesnt see it that way - not yet , anyway! Good luck
