I want a cheerleader, I want a sounding board, I want a swift kick in the pants, I want to be heard and understood, I want to be challenged and I want to be accepted. I want some of these all the time, but never all of these at the same time.

So if she can figure out how to work with someone who has no clue what they want or need, she's awesome!

Advice, on parenting skills and assertiveness. Guidance, on how to get to the root of my problems, which roads are dead ends and which have potential to get me where I want to be. Encouragement that I'm making good choices, even if they aren't always the right choices, and how to spot warning signs before making mistakes. Supports and will listen and not judge, guidance when I say "I'm at the end of my rope, what else can I do?"

Hope that made a tiny bit of sense.
