Hi,

Hope it's ok if i vent for a minute?

I had such a great day with my 17 yr old daughter, she's already moved out. We went and got our hair done, it was great. We went to sushi, and it was great. But I ate a piece of her sushi i thought she was done. She screamed at me for 15 minutes about how i stole her food. i kept apologizing (also gently reminded her about having polite manners), and she eventually calmed down but was crying, apologetic. she told me that she was taking out on me everything she ever felt was stolen from her We left each other with hugs and tears.

This is all so hard, moodswings are so hurtful. she told me that i do that to her sometimes too, and i think i must... i'm so sad that she is practically an adult and has so many extra challenges ahead with facing mental illness. i miss her, wish she was my sweet little 3 year old still...
