an almost 14 year old teenage daughter????????????

Theres nothing like it. I've heard over and over about how "they" change when the big 13 hits: I hemmed and hawed. Yeah right, my daughter is nice, sweet, kind, and generous.

Then, she hit 13 in February and all HE_ _ broke loose. The lying, disrespect, rudeness...oh, its just way too much. Perhaps its especially hard since I am the primary caregiver and have virtually no emotional support (except my T). I never thought I would have to keep her so close, and be so invasive of her privacy. I don't like being this way, but I absolutely have to. After all, I am her parent, right????????????

These are hard times for young teenage girls...........and their Mommies
