It's horrible on the parents, and I'm sure the pay-back is coming my way when Connor gets into his teens. Emma will figure it out, in a couple of years she'll look around her and realize just how good she's got it. In the mean time, we'll be praying - for her, and for you guys!J9https://www.blogger.com/profile/14380320273138317488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634776389542754944.post-56960594767098076012010-01-20T11:55:26.005-05:002010-01-20T11:55:26.005-05:00This post upsets me more than people realize. You...This post upsets me more than people realize. You might as well put a picture of me when I was that age up there. Emmas a good kid and shes just acting out- as I did. I wish I had the outcome for you mom. All the answers as to what to do with her. I feel guilty when I hear that she does things like that to you and dad. I see so much of myself in her it scares me alot. In a couple of years she will be fine, it's just these next few that are going to be jumping hurtles. <br />Emma has these problems and there is nothing I can do. Who am I to say? But I will help you as much as I can. Because I am worried if I dont give her the attention she wants or feels like she needs, she going to hurt outself out of spite for attention. I think even simply involving her in more things might help, like painting classes etc but I know all that costs money. <br />You spoke about a "heavy heart" the other day, this lays huge on mine. The sister side and the quilty side.Auntie Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921648838593804621noreply@blogger.com
