[quote=Anonymous]OP, has any of this thread been helpful to you? I have been thinking about your situation. I have a teen who is a handful as well, though perhaps not to the extent you are dealing with. It can be hard when you think other parents have it all figured out, and you are somehow failing to instill the right values in your child. Between kids' hormones, electronics, school pressure, parental obligations and pressures, it is easy to get off track and be inconsistent in parenting. Your situation sounds like you definitely need some outside help and support. Is it possible that your child is depressed? It sounds like there is a real lack of emotional connection. Many teens and tweens "hate" their parents at some point, but you describe a situation that sounds like a deeper lack of connection and respect. I think you could both benefit from some family therapy.[/quote]
