[quote=Anonymous]How do you feel about her interests? What is it she feels entitled to that is causing the most issue? How bad are her grades slipping? What are the consequences for that? How recently have the anime/fantasy interests occurred? Has she recently started her period? I was once a moody, out of step teenager. Looking back I can see a mixed bag of issues (hormones, depression, ADHD and just some old-fashioned mother-daughter drama) that I was dealing with. I remember feeling...intensely frustrated all the time. And I certainly passed that frustration on to my family. I don't know what specific things you can do (other PPs have been helpful), but do try to remember that her emotions are big but she doesn't have the language or perspective or emotion to keep them in check. The books, etc are likely an escape...a relief. You are the adult and even if she resents you, you are still her guide though the adolescent mess she's in.[/quote]
