Therapy

I went to therapy this morning.  I haven't been for a couple of months.  We seemed to be vacationing a lot and then I have had some rough weeks.   I discussed with my counselor about getting my daughter into therapy as I feel she is acting out and having some issues.  We discussed her and her hoarding.  Also her horrible tantrums.  He assured me that her tantrums are normal.  LOL.  But the hoarding does concern him.  He told me that from what I described her behavior as, she has control issues.  She doesn't feel she has control of anything.  I am supposed to watch out when she is a teen.  He said that is the type to have eating disorders and the like.   I am thinking to myself that she is a chip off the old block!  I had an eating disorder and had to control my environment very much.  I was a neat freak tho and not a hoarder.  Ahhhh,such wonderful things life throws at us.  The mind is an incredibly powerful thing. 
On a different note, I started volunteering at my daughter's school.  I go to the library and reshelve books.  It is a quiet place and it is nice to get out and feel useful.

Teenagers are always fun! LOL. It is so hard today for teenage girls. The world is thrown in their face and sometimes it gets hard to handle. Maybe you can help her before anything bad will happen. Have patience with her.

That is good that you are volunteering at the school\'s library. I know you will enjoy it. Take care.
