Yoyo, my D17 has one more year of high school. Hope I live through it! I had so much fun in high school, but D17 hates it. Right now she hates everything. She doesn't want to live here, but she doesn't want to stay at her dad's either. She wants to move out with friends as soon as she turns 18. She jas had trouble even finding a job for the summer, but she thinks she can support herself and finish high school. She needs a reality check.....but is there one that will keep her safe?!?! Yes, she's been in counseling, but she knows the right things to say. I even suggested she start a "gratitude journal" .....she just thinks I'm out of my mind!
FLTC, thanks for checking in. Your apt sounds terrific! (I'll check out the web site). I am happy to hear that you are adjusting so well. Of course, we would like life to be different, but it sounds like you are making the most of a bad situation. I am proud of you! (Maybe D17 needs a year in Iraq!)
