[quote=Anonymous]OP, You are a wonderful, loving and caring mother. You are the best mother to these kids. They know it. They love you. Alas, there’s this thing called adolescence that will get in the way for a few years. Most of us went through an ungrateful phase and have kids that will go through the same thing. Sometimes it starts earlier than you’d expect... You’re the adult. Enforce rules. Stay calm. Do not allow swearing but allow her to express her feelings in polite language. Make her feel heard. Tell her you both have it hard, and sympathize. I hope you have friends you can call when you need support. And try to get your husband to do something, anything. Mine was missing in action for much of my kids’s early years, but is parenting our teen as best he can. [/quote]
