thank you so much for both the comments and the edit, sorry about that! I firmly believe that my ceiling is her floor, and I try to raise her up to walk it. thank you though, it makes me feel like I might be doing an ok job so far... we'll see how much more we can handle once she hits the teen years in full force. :) ...

Thank you so much! she was upset when she told me she was pansexual. I just gave her a big hug and told her how brave she is and that I loved her no matter who she dated as long as they were good to and for her. then I had her put on her shoes so we could clean the yard (already had planned to do that) because I felt she needed some routine to bring her emotions back down. I was sexually abused at a young age so my vision is a bit skewed of what 12yo's go through. I try to be there for her and talk to her but I don't want to push. when she clams up I stop and try to make her laugh instead. She gets uncomfortable talking about it. You have set my mind at ease though so hopefully I can get my head out of the way so I can properly be there for her. Thank you! ... View more
