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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
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!!
