LOL..no..someday faith will be sitting with her daughter, having a conversation about HER daughter and their relationship. :D

y'all will be fine faith. it's the circle of life. :hug:all part of everyones growing up. even us mom's.

She will. Don't just hope that she will, know it. She is in God's hands. Trust that you have done your job. It sure sounds like you have.

Faith,
I think at some point things will be ok too. It seems to take longer with some than others, so who knows how long it will be. I'd say just be consistent in showing her you love her - telling her and talk to her about her feelings and your feelings also. I'm told that even though sometimes it doesn't seem like they are listening, they really will remember those things.

Myself, I would still have a curfew for my teenagers whenever they are living at home regardless of age. My DD is 18 and she's never stayed out past 11, but she's in her last year of High school this year. I just won't let them come in at all hours of the night while we are trying to live there and having to get sleep for work, if for no other reason, it's disturbing to us. If they want to do that, then they will have to be 'adult' enough to afford their own place. Just my parent rules. ;)

Hang in there, it'll get better!
