I don't understand my 12 year old daughter. I thought I had raised her to be a caring, kind, loving, and respectful human being. I have tried my best to instill good values and morals, but it hasn't worked.

When the kids came home in October, it was and still is a traumatic adjustment. Lindsay is now going to middle school instead of elementary as she was in the other state she resided. I don't drive, and we live in a commercial area, so social outings are limited.

She instantly made one friend, and I was so very happy. Her friends parents even made several trips to our home to pick up Lindsay for sleep overs, shopping trips, etc... I had a feeling something had been not so good these past few weeks as I hadn't heard from her friend.

I just checked our landline voicemail that had a message from her friend. She was crying, asking why, oh why, Lindsay doesn't talk to her anymore, why is she being so mean. OMG, I am livid. I asked Lindsay about it, and she said her "new" friends don't like this other friend, so therefore, she can't talk to her other friend anymore.

I am soooooooooooo MAD!!! I know girls are girls are girls, but I do not know my daughter as well as I thought. And this is just the beginning isn't it?????????
