I feel like I've been in a sort of teen-aged stage this past year. Rebelling (spending more money than I should, drinking more than I should, another thing from earlier this year), talking back to/questioning people (including H, T, and marriage counselor), yet still being dependent on them. I didn't really go through much of that stage as an actual teenager. Like I didn't have my first drink (or cigarette) till I was in college, and the few times I talked back to or fought with my mom or dad, she got all upset (like weepy) about it, so I didn't do much of that. (Guess I went through the drinking thing in my early 20s, too, so I should have it out of my system, since I'm 39 now, but...) Hopefully this stage won't last as long as actual teen years do...
