I am watching a smart, funny, beautiful (inside and out) young woman of 19 sell herself short in the male-companionship department, and other areas.
What I see is a young woman who is all drama and chaos and typical "teen" one moment, then a mature reasonable sane and composed young woman the next. I do think it has to do with self-esteem issues. There is part of her that knows she's a catch, she can be stubborn and demanding of what she wants and how she wants to be treated, but then turns around and accepts ??? I hope she grows out of it. I hope they all do, but I do think it's excitement, that feeling that they're immortal, but bottom-line, at least with this young lady, I can almost see the neon sign over her head flashing confused, scared, I'm not ready to grow up yet and I don't think I'm good enough.
Good news your daughter is off to college! That's great news!
