Lulu, that was epic, reading all of that. Well done to you, you superwoman! I really related to a lot of things you wrote as well. Morehow you described yourself as a teen, I was like that too when I was 16...yeah I was feral, but I could talk the talk and walk the walk. Everything I said I would do I did. Threatened to move out, did. Said I would go and get a job (mum was very doubtful, a 16 yo highschool dropout) and I did one better and got a job touring internationally. I'm glad your DD is doing so much better now fwiw, my mum and I never had a terrible relationship, we were just too similar, we clashed so much. But I can honestly say she is my best friend now. She is so strong and brave and inspirational, and I'm so glad I had her when I was a feral little biatch lol.
