[quote=Anonymous]There is a "U" Curve of Happiness (google it). Now it's based on age, but underlying that is the stage in your life you are at. So what I want to stress here is that it may get worse it's not a straight line down into hell. LOL And also on that note, if your kids as teenagers get hellish, and it just gets worse and worse, it does NOT mean that it's a straight line of "Worse-ity" going upward with them, either. Somewhere in there their frontal lobe starts kicking in, and they get nicer and more thoughtful and less selfish. I can only say this because I'm still in shock that one of mine has turned around. I still have PTSD about that one, but when I step back, I think, wow, although she still has her moments, she hasn't really been so difficult in a while, now. [/quote]
