Hi Trish / ladies, I understand how you are feeling,life can be really tough on us as parents,and no matter how much we try,sometimes things never seem to get any easier.It wouln`t be the first time I`ve had a cry or broken down due to the frustration of parenting,we don`t get a baby/child/ teenage manual to help with raising our kids our eldest is nearly 15 and his behaviour has change over the last few months,I think it has alot to do with who your friends are at school sometimes,they just have a mind of their own and won`t listen. good luck.
