My daughter turned into a psychotic monster from 15 to 17. I wasn’t sure whether to kill myself or her or both. I thought about taking out a seller’s account on Ebay and selling her to some Arab sheikh, but didn’t do so only because I knew I’d get bad feedback when the sheikh realized what a pain in the tuchus she was. Then at 17 she started to return to the lovely, sweet person she had been from 0 to 14.9. Now she is 22 and a real joy once again. We survived!
My son is 16, and while he was a miniature Godzilla from birth through age 8, he is very sweet, funny, and easy to live with. We rarely have a problem. Any arguments we have blow over in 2 minutes. Everyone loves this kid.
My twenty one year old still is a difficult human who has strayed far from her family’s values. I have detached and she will have the life she wants.
