Keep you rspirits up. My D17 was sort of pushing away from me and since the meeting with the school and stuff, now I am on her "I'll be happy around him" group. She is talking to me more because she has overheard me saying things like I needed to do this for her, she is an A student and doesn't want to quit school but everything is getting to her. I need to remove some of this stress, this isn't fair top her, she did nothng to deserve it, I got do something.
She thanked me today after I gave her $20. I told her make it last, she said, "No, I 'm thnaking you for what you did for me, ou listened to me. And I want you to know that it meant a lot to me that you listened and helped me do what I needed to do." I told her no problem, thats my job, You're my peanut, I am here to make sure you don't ever have the worries I have...Gave her a kiss and told her to call me later. She is much more relaxed now.
It is hard for the kids, Amy and 25year have given me advice about it. Let them roll, let them vent, but never let on that it is getting to you. don't let them see the "buttons".
