Hi Melissa, sending you a HUGE hug.
You know, teenagers are selfish little creatures, they go back to being ego led the same way toddlers do. But it's just a phase, so I'm told. My 19 year old is like a whirlwind...she is messy and self-centred and talkative and lazy. She and I are incredibly close and I love her with all my heart, but she is also the only person on the planet who makes me want to scream sometimes. She will be 20 next birthday, and about to enter her 2nd year at uni. She is maturing so fast. She is now independent and resourceful. She has developed a resilience to handling life's stresses that I admire...and she is turning into a woman now. Attitudes change. Teenagers see the world through their own eyes, as adults they learn to try and see it through another's.
I'm sorry about the bad dreams, they suck. I have had my fair share of those in the past too.
Keep moving forward, you are doing just great ❤️❤️❤️ Xxx
