Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I know how you feel, I have had my daughter screaming at me like that and embarrassing me because you could hear her outside the house. She still does it on occassion. I have learned now a very important lesson- I do not take it personally. I walk away. I have wanted and thought terrible things about her, but now that I have taken control of my own actions I remove myself from it and remind myself what a good person I am. My bad thoughts have gone away. Try it.... you'll start to believe it. You are a good person because you are her mom, you have to put up with a lot.

We live in the country so no one lives real close to us. I sat and cried and through God why did I become a Mom. I felt like I could just walk out the door and stay away for a long time just to be free. Of course I would never do that. A few days later I ran across this poem. I Need Some Help. God, I need some outside help tonight.I want so much to be free,But I don't feel free. I know it all in my head that you life is living in me,that my life is a miracle, But in my heart It seems as if life is pressing in on me And squeezing me, Until I feel empty and limp. Free... What can that word mean.When my life belongs to so many other people, When I get squezed between the generation gap. and the tax bill,And I want to walk out of the door and keep on walking and never stop..

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I like that poem. Especially, " God, I need some help outside myself tonight. " So simple yet often the hardest thing to ask for.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Dear Harmjosh3, I don't know your situation, however I do know you don't have to stay and take verbal abuse from your daughter. Continue to tell her calmly that behavior is not acceptable and you will not tolerate it. Then, leave. Tell her you will listen to her when she is calm How old is your daughter?
