Well...my daughter is coming home after a week at her dads. She got very violent with me and I took her to stay with him. He couldn't handle it and asked me to come get her. She is a wonderful child. Just been pretty screwed up the last few months. 15 years old...I remember. Anyway, part of the problem is for so many years she has gotten her way pretty much all the time. Things are going to change in that aspect. I have several ideas to change things for the better for both of us. Clear cut boundaries, rules, consequences, rewards, and sticking to whatever it is. She has never really had any of that with me. I finally realize how much she really needs that kind of structure.

The thing is...I'm freaking out. All these things have been clear in my mind. I have the gist of how I'm going to start the conversation and different areas to cover. She is already set up for therapy, I have talked to school concelors, therapists of my own, and emailed some other professionals to get advise. I am very confident I can do it...but why am I freaking out all of a sudden???

Any comments or advise would be greatly appreciated!!!
