On day 15 the cops called and said that they were bringing my daughter home. She's back, but for how long?
I gotta be honest with you, when I knew she was coming back I felt about it two ways. First, relief. Second, doom and gloom. The doom and gloom because I know this is not over yet. I am so pissed off at her and disappointed in her that it is hard to convey. I know it may be hard to understand that I am pissed off at her but it is because her actions have been so damned Stupid! I am pissed at her stupidity and lack of a morsel of sound judgement. I am now at the point where I just want her to graduate from high school and then I will let her go, even before the hallowed age of 19. Just freaking graduate and cause as little heartache as possible between now and then.
I think it is the most heartwrenching thing to watch a child make their life so hard. She doesn't know how to get out of her own way. With a bit of luck we are at the tail end of her angst riddled teenage years.
This just sucks...

I too had a child determined to do everything the hard way. We fought and argued until the day after she graduated, then she moved out. Several really difficult years followed for both of us, but she's finally growing up.
ReplyDeleteYou can get through this. You will get through this. And she will piss you off and make it hard. Life's a bitch, but I love you.
