I am extremely sad.I really am at a loss as to what to do for my daughter or how to handle it.I know she is having a hard time right now.She is 16 and has to be on a special diet.She is also a very picky eater and has been ever since she was little.She has celiac's disease which isn't easy for me either since she won't eat very many fruits vegetables or meats.I buy food from a healthfood store here in town for her but yet she will eat very little of it.So I buy what I know she will eat which is cereals pastas and the few things I know she will eat from the healthfood store.She also thinks I am obsessed with having a man in my life.I have found someone I care very much about and who does not have an internet porn addiction.It is not like I have a different man sleeping with me every night.I just want to find someone and be happy.My kids are everything to me and I would never do anything to hurt them in any way.I am 42 years old and I just want to have a full life.My son is 18 and my daughter is 16.I have given up so much to raise my kids and now I would like to find the right man and be happy.I 'm not obsessed with it but I think I deserve be have a little happiness.

Joy, you have every right to have a relationship. Teenagers are going to criticize their parents. It\'s what they do. If the only rotten thing she can find about you is that you desire an adult intimacy then you are doing good! BTW, that might be what her confusion is. She doesn\'t want to see her mother as a sexual being. She\'ll get over it!
