[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suppose it's par for the course, having conflict with my 12 year old daughter. Single mom, only child. She's in 7th grade [b]with mental health issues.[/b] Everything I do is for helping her, everything in my life for 12 years is for her, but it's like she hates me and everything I do for her. Idk what to do. I read the books and try to connect with her and when she says rude things, I calmly say that hurt my feelings and move on (per the book Untangled that I learned about here). I know it's part of managing my feelings too. Now she is going too far, talking to teachers at school saying I wouldn't accept her if she's gay (which I would) but wtf?! Any advice is appreciated.[/quote]

Elaborate? Many times kids are over-diagnosed by quacks who want to push pills, or parents who cannot parent and blame something besides themselves. May or may not be the case in this situtation, but would be the first place one should reflect on and ask some hard questions.

As far as not being despised, kids don't hate a parent for no reason at all. There are ALWAYS some reasons for them to do that.

So look at yourself and you behaviors and actions. [/quote]
