Hi - my lovely 13 year old girl has developed a frightening control-freak streak. I'm trying to stay calm and be firm and fair, but it's hard. Feel like opening bottle of wine but won't as it will make me less in control She regularly tells me to off, and although I know she does love me deep down, doesn't want me anywhere near her. I know she needs space as she becomes a teenager, but I see her bullying me and my other kids and feel that I'm being a crap parent by not managing to rein her in.....any advice/moral support out there folks?
thanks...
