Daughter giving me anxiety

Hello everyone on here. Just needing to vent a bit. I’ve had OCD and depression for quite a few years now. Lately my anxiety has been pretty elevated, and my daughter going through her hormonal changes has been exasperating my condition. All she does is complain, criticize, and not show any gratefulness for her so many blessings. As I write this I was triggered again by my daughter calling me up to complain about her mother. SAMSON

Be careful you don't fall into that trap of having your daughter get between you and

her mother. The hormonal changes of a young teen certainly do play into her personality

right now but don't allow her to control the situation. Some of it is about testing you.

Stay strong and stay constant. She is looking to be her own person right now and your

guidance in emotional growth will pay off later.

When these instances happen (no matter how often) take a deep breath and slowly

exhale, bringing your shoulders down away from your ears. Then find a quiet place

for some "me time". 3-5 minutes of meditation and breathing can make your ready

for Round 2.

Most parents with a teen earn their gray hairs during this time. Breathe my friend :) xx
