[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did she need to get up? You sounds unreasonable and unhinged. Respect is something that doesn't usually come with being arbitrary and mean.   [/quote]

Don't you get it?!?   If the clocks hadn't changed it would have been 1215!!!!!    /S.   OP sounds unhinged.   I grew up with a mom like her.  What she doesn't get, is that in the hormonal, less developed mind of a teen, they react to the behavior they are shown instead of being mature and handling it.  So when OP screams and threatens to take the door off it's hinges, OPs daughter is going to react in a similar manner.  And she's going to expect that every single time she deals with her mom so her guard is always going to be up and she's always going to react defensively from the start.   Is it the right way to handle it?  Of course not.  But it's a teen, it's how their brain works.   It was an absolutely miserable way to grow up and I'm so thankful that [b]I worked hard on myself because my childhood caused a lot of issues and my life could have easily taken a different direction.[/b]  [/quote]

You're the one with some issues if you're still blaming mom for your failures in life. Therapy isn't working aparently.

Huh?   I don't have any failures in my life, I've actually got a pretty fantastic life.   But yes, growing up with a mom like I did absolutely caused some problems with emotional regulation, self esteem, and anxiety.  Had I not put in the work to overcome those issues, my life may have turned out differently.   That was my point.  [/quote]
