Ha ha - she is growing into an amazing young woman, and I understand the hormones and need for independence (and designer jeans) and that I am no longer "cool" in her eyes right now. I am ok with it, because underneath is a kid who still comes to me when she is scared or hurting and just hugs me so tightly. I know when she scoffs and snickers at me that she loves me anyway. And that's worth a trip to American Eagle, I'd say! With her, I know where I stand.
With my RAH, I have no idea why this guy wants to be married to me?! You'd think I am red, with horns and a tail, the way he describes me. And when he is scared and hurting, he pushes me away even further. When I am scared and hurting, he mocks me. The difference is disgusting, when you put it in that perspective.
13 yr old hormones, I can do that. Grown man tantrums, forget it.
