parenting is not glamorous

   So, my oldest daughter has gone off the deep end, and at 20 years old she has hit her rebellious stage full force. She disappeared for an entire weekend, and I even filed a missing persons report before she finally turned up. She is apparently now dating a drug dealer, and has gone from good little christian girl always in church to dope dealers bitch. Or as his facebook status called her his "boothang". OMG its enough to make you want to hurl. When I read her relationship status I wasn't sure weather to cry, or puke, or both.

  I know two other moms going through similar stuff with their teens, and all three of us are thinking, maybe i sheltered them too much, or maybe I gave them too much, or maybe I wasn;t strict enough, and Im trying to remember my teen years, and what I thought , and how I felt. I should be more understanding of this because if there was a rebellious teen in my neighborhood it was me. My parents sucked, and they didn't know anything, and I raised my kids determined to not be like my parents, and I was not like my parents, but it still wasnt right. She still moved out, went nuts, is in the process of destroying her life, and what can I do but sit back and watch it all unfold, and pray... ALOT!!!

  unfortunately life isn't all sunshine and roses, and there is no right answer. All we can do is love them anyway.




Tell me your rellious child story? let's support each other through the crap our children put us through, and apologize to our parents for the crap we put them through.

    I am so sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you.

    All you can do is pray, love them, and set boundaries so that she doesn't hurt you or others that you love. And if she does break a law or you know the people that are breaking the law, then you need to do her a favor and report it. Having her face consequences is a loving thing to do.

    There are no easy answers and in the end, no matter what kind of parents we are, our kids will make their own decisions good and bad.
