Red.. that's funny.. any communication I've seen between them, she's ALWAYS searching for validation. The expected response is "Of course you are not bothering me sweetheart"
That's her self esteem.
D5 is killing me.. she keeps asking "When are you guys getting back together?"
She's maturing sooo much.. and for all the wrong reasons.
I can't imagine what she's thinking about or going through and that's what kills me.
W says she's not scum.. if she would only listen to her own daughter.
I keep picturing the future.. both D's are teenagers and can't stand their mom. It's very sad.
Reading Dr. Dobson's book, it talks about how children act out based on the level of respect they have for their parents. Soooo true. I've told W this many, many times. They push.. if you don't react well.. respect lost.
D3 is in these stages.. I've been a little harsher on her lately because of it. You know what though.. when she leaves here, she's got good manners.. rarely has accidents and goes to bed without a fuss.
Coming back from her place(s) they are a handfull. Takes me a day or 2 to line them back up.
