Is anyone else having difficulty with teens thru divorce/separation. My daughter, 17 is having a tough time, since I'm the parent at home, I am the one getting the brunt of her behaviour. I jus don't know what to do. I've tried talking - she doesn't want to talk - it hurts too much, I can understand, I am willing to listen, I hug her and tell her I love her. But no mater what I do I am the one she is angry with - I'm not the parent who walked out....just don't know what to do anymore.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
My daughter (age 17 now)has hated my guts for almost a year & a half. She blamed me for everything. Even thought he was the one who walked & had a girlfriend, her daddy was a saint & I was the demon from He**.
I had a professional tell me, my daughter was taking out her anger on me because I was still there...she knew I would not abandon her. That was true but it still hurt.
Friend & others told me to hang on, be patient, be understanding & just keep loving her. There were times when I didn't think I could do any of those. She was truely awful to me at times when I was struggling myself & I had very little defenses. There were times I cryed more over her than I did STBX.
I have done loads of praying. I stayed steady in the basic rules we have always lived by. I did my best to be understanding. But mostly I just kept telling her I love you & I stayed (even when she didn't want me) & we've waddled through.
I am proud to say I do see her smile at me on occasion & she doesn't think of me as a demon (or at least not most days). Our relationship is still a bit rocky...but she is getting over the anger & beginning to adjust.
Be strong, continue to be mom & always tell her I LOVE YOU!
More hugs & prayers for you!!
