Teenage problems
      08/06/2008 23:22

hello, i've just joined this site, after subscribing to the magazine. I have a daughter aged 13 almost 14 and at the moment I am finding it very hard to deal with how she is now behaving especially with me. She is now moody and answers back all the time, i am finding it hard to control her as she now just seems to shout at me all the time, my husband thinks I should not let her upset me but he doesn't seem to want to be involved, i have not been happy for some time and I think that she is picking up on this and is almost using this against me, i know i have to be strong with her but I am not finding it easy at the moment.
I have been unwell for a while with IBS and don't have a lot of support from my daughter and husband and she is sometimes making fun of me regarding how I feel, i just don't know what to do. Do you think it will get easier as I just didn't imagine it would be like this, i have always thought I was doing a good job with her, strict but not much, tried to listen and to be her friend if she needed me but maybe that's were I have gone wrong, anyway any advice would be appreciated, thanks
