Does anyone find themselves worrying excessively about their teenager?
I just can't cope with the worry surrounding having a 16 year old.
I'm a single mum (dad is barely involved) and my dd is generally a good girl who appears to have her head screwed on BUT she's now venturing out to parties on a weekend where there is exposure to drink (& most likely drugs) She dislikes alcohol mostly and doesn't like the way it makes her feel etc, but I worry so much that due to the peer pressure environment that she'll take it too far. I must add that she hasn't done this so far.
My logical mind tells me I must let her venture into the world and make mistakes etc but I find the worry too heavy to carry at times.
Does anyone else feel similar? She's an only child so has no guidance from siblings.
I remember what I was doing at her age and it fills me with fear.
