Their hormones and our hormones don't mix very well!

indeed we do.

but at the same time you'll look back and laugh (hopefully) HUGS x

They can be absolutely hideous. My middle daughter was a living nightmare when she was a teen.

if they didnt act so awful, we would never want them to leave..

sucks he has an attitude, pray he gets a bit sweeter for you.

Sorry Deb! Teens do suck! I hate being around them sometimes. Its my turn soon. My daughter turns 13 in January. OH the Joys I am looking forward too. She is such a sweet kid now, hard to believe she will be evil soon

I don't feel bad about how I acted towards my parents. I was a child in the throws of the beginning of BP while they were having a custody battle of me and my brother.

PLUS, mom mom is BP (which obviously does not automatically make you a bad parent!) but wasn't being treated which means sometimes we would come home to a house that was totally redecorated after being gone at school for 6 hours (including a new couch...she had a thing for new couches), and then the other half of the time we barely got the bare necessities (food, a roof over our heads, etc) because she was too depressed to really take care of us. Once when I was sick, she put me on the porch in (in November in the cold) because my cough was keeping her up but I refused the cough syrup (it tastes awful, duh!).

The only other place I could go was my dad's house, but he was physically abusive (only once towards me, but it was only about 4 years ago that he finally stopped beating my younger brother...being an older sibling unable to save your brother because you're scared you might get beaten is almost worse than being hit yourself. i was feeling ALL of his pain).

Don't get me wrong, I did awful thing I can't believe I did and feel ashamed about now (kicking a whole in a door, throwing a book at my mom once) but I don't feel bad for my parents...and I don't think I am ever going to. If I had gotten treatment when this illness was first beginning (versus 9 years later!) I might be stable right now, and graduated! They were too busy dealing with their own emotions and fighting over me that they weren't even paying attention to the fact that something was very VERY wrong with me.

Huge hug for ya darlin... Haha... tommymott's got it right..
I was a nightmare in my teens... fortunately they will end... I hope the day improves tats..xoxo

It is a miracle that I lived through my teens teen years.

Tats, my mom used to tell me I would not understand until I had my own children.....then she told me her mom told her the same....my grandma told me her mom told her the same.............LOL, yep, it is true, NOT until we have our own and we are staring ourselves int he eye. Although, we are not always staring ourselves but the childs father in the eyes. Hisotory repeats itself over and over but it does NOT make it easier to deal with.......My heart is with you.......xo

Please forgive my errors..............night meds!!!!!

I was a good teenager. I was physically, sexually, and emotionally abused during that time. I tried everything I could do to stay out of everyones way. I was shipped off to boarding school so my mother could live her life. I never told anyone about the attempted suicides and no one noticed until I was 17 and I was sent to a mental hospital. And I only went then because the school noticed the cuts on my wrist and forsed my mother to take me.

One sister was the school slut and kept running off with guys and ended up marrying young. The other was the school bully and all around nightmare and got pregnant at 16.

So looking back you would think my mother would see me as the good kid. Nope she thinks I was horrid, nothing but problems, and that she blamed it on boarding school.
