Thank you for the words. I am trying. It does feel sometimes that my snarky overly critical H has been replaced by my snarky, overly critical D13 and I have to remember she is not her father. She is a 13 year old girl pushing boundaries as she works out who she is.
Difference I guess is my ego is much stronger now and I can take the hits (most of the time) without falling into some blubbering mess.
