[quote=Anonymous]This was the gist of a thread from last week or so. Honestly, the thought had never occurred to me. Teen girls are emotional and can be explosive. We know this. And I have been taking on every single ounce of it. All of it. Never occurred to me NOT to. And I realize now that I felt I was a bad mom if I didn’t. Like it meant I didn’t care. Like I was being a callous shitty mom. This week I’ve been actively trying to not absorb it. To be there. To listen. But not take it on, not solve it (unless I’m asked for help) and most importantly not to get all anxious myself. Because not only does it not feel good to me, but when I worry, I hover and when I hover my dd doesn’t like that (duh! Who would right?!). So thanks, DCUM. Total epiphanic game-changer. Still fighting the little voice of guilt each time I disengage but I’m working on it. [/quote]
