Copied from my thread in chat. I need some support from somewhere and I don't really know where.
So... my daughter. She's 19 next month and we have gone from being so close all of her life, to this awkward tempestuous relationship and I hate it.
From about 16 and a half, she changed. I thought I had got away with it, she was the perfect child and I felt great pride in her because I have mostly been a single parent over the years, and she's amazing.
But the last couple of years have been so hard. She's great compared to some, she's clever, she's funny, she's creative - but on the flipside, she's arrogant, sarcastic, indifferent, lazy and selfish.
I'm pretty sure I was the same but I can't remember. Are they all like this? When does it change? All we do is argue and I really hate it.
Since I wrote this last week, it's all got a hundred times worse. We had another huge argument last night, I told her to get the fuck out of my house, and now apparently she is going down south to stay with my mum for a bit and look for a job down there. I've given her 2 weeks, and I need it to be over.
