Yes. She is a wonderful teen! I don't know her, but feel protective of her. I recall posts where she is with the dad driving her and a bunch of friends and other stuff posted with friends. If Jen is struggling with parenting her, then she should be getting help. Maybe see a family therapist to help her appreciate the amazing daughter she has. I say this as someone with 2 amazing teens, one of whom is neuroatypical and has been challenging at times (understatement depending on the day), and one who is NT and can be quite sassy and rebellious. It's tough raising teens and I have vented ANONYMOUSLY online before, but would never blast their behavior with their names. I also know how flawed I am and sometimes it's about my own triggers and issues. In fact, I am highly triggered by what Jen is doing because I had a mother who had a lot of narc tendencies (not diagnosing, but my therapist was the one who used the word).
