Hi whatisis:

I HEAR you on this. Ashley is turning 21 in a couple of weeks and STILL drives me crazy. In her heart of hearts she is still a wonderful person and is turning out just fine but getting her to adulthood while singleparenting her since she turned 13 has been very difficult.

Stand your ground. Understand the hormonal stuff. Remember to notice the good things she does and tell her. And try to remember that you want to have a good relationship with her when she is grown.

I'm in Toronto today. Had lunch with my son and shopped a bit. I feel some better.

Hang in there.

Barb
