[quote=Anonymous]The best solution is to be your best self and learn from this. Keep a diary about all of these hurtful comments and the way they made you feel. When your teenager makes a choice you hate, remember how you felt when you received judgment instead of attempts to understand and connect. Someday your children will be grown. They will take paths you might not have chosen. Before you respond, think about how you wished your mother would have handled your points of difference. Be the person she should have been for you. This is how I keep myself grounded. Unlike you I don't have fond childhood memories of my mom. She made me feel terrible for my whole life. I always kept journals and now, as an adult, my silver lining is that I can use those experiences to stay on course as a parent. It really works. [/quote]
