having been on the receiving end of a daughter's unfair wrath, i cannot tell you the pain it caused me. as her mother and as her friend. the day will come when you will both regret acting out as you do. i am not blaming you completely...don't assume that. a mother's job is to set an example so that the children know how to behave. it sounds as if to me that counseling for the two of you would be appropriate. happy birthday! xoxox pat
