I did wonder, it’s rough having PMT anyway but when you’re newly a teenager, your body is changing in a way that bothers you AND you’ve just been dumped- just ugh.

My eldest is nearly an adult now but kicked off plenty at this age and you do have to find your own way to deal with it. It doesn’t mean I put up with anything that’s chucked at me, I have those conversations about unacceptable behaviour after everyone has calmed down. It’s paid off imo as my daughter and I are really close and she can and does feel able to talk to me about loads of stuff going on in her life. I’m glad I didn’t waste loads of time turning the house into a battleground. Just got to get the next one (a boy) through the shower of shit that is the teenage years now 😬

Yeah I think that's the way forward to be honest we have had a few blazing rows lately and it's just upsetting for both. In the end I was glad I let it play out then we spoke after.
teenage years are are a whole new playing field
lol

To the PP who said she’d have had a slap for that behaviour; how is your relationship with your dm?
My mum pasted all of us up until we left home. As kids we used to talk about our hopes of her dying but Dad being alright. I can’t remember ever loving my mum, or feeling loved by her. In fact I hated her and was nc the last few years. I should have done that sooner.

It's excellent, I speak to her every day.

Speaking to her every day does not mean you were raised by an emotionally healthy parent.

It is a shame for you that you were raised in a toxic environment with parents unable to control their own emotions, and even more saddening that as an adult you don’t even realise how damaging that is.
