My daughter is a problem child - she is in 2nd year of High School and already she has...
a)shoplifted,
b)smoked pot,
c) and provided alcohol to her friends at a party where the other two now is MAYBE charged with sexual assault. (she is a witness only)
This morning she was feeling under the weather so I gave her some cold meds, nicely asked her to take it 4 hours apart, so she can make it in school.
Before she left the house she has not taken the cold meds. But she started whining that she is so stressed and falling behind in school....then I lost it...
I am always yelling at her for various reasons ( I feel terrible, I cannot help it, nice does not work either) but mainly because she is very stubborn and we have to bail her out from the stupid choices she makes. Now I feel terrible. The problem is I see myself in her and I am petrified that she will have the same stupid struggle of the life I had. I do not know what to do. The only upside - I am seeing my pdoc maybe he will give me some chill pill...
