Those milestones are going to be so hard for awhile. I'm not looking forward to ours in Sept. How could things change so much in a year? It boggles the mind, but the sad truth (for many of us) may be it wasn't just a year ago that it truly started...
Yikes, I thought some stuff did get easier as they got older. Definitely as a single mom, that multiplies things tenfold or more. Too much work, never enough time. I think about your D b/c I was that teen- very depressed, except nobody noticed. Luckily, I never did anything drastic, but I'm so glad you're involved and keeping an eye on her. It's the last thing you need on top of everything else.
Sending you very good, positive vibes from up north-- enjoy your day and evening!
