My youngest daughter texted me this last stating things a mother doesn’t ever want to hear.
Pure hatred for me flowed freely onto the phone screen. To sum it up, she hates me. She said she wished I was dead, but then she is glad I am alive because I can feel the hurt of her anger. She told me she pretends her mom died giving birth to her.
She said so many hateful devestati things. I was frozen, somewhat paralyzed. I respond with words of love, and questions. Why is this all surfacing now?
I’m sort of in a wait mode till I can speak with my counselor on Monday
I have had her voice her anger to me before but not so BIG. NOT SO FULL OF HATE.
PLEASE IF YOU GET TIME keep us in your prayers for resolution People remind me she is 16, but she is the apple of my eyes.
Maryam,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and her. I’m so sorry. Although it is hard, keep smiling that beautiful smile of yours.
In my thoughts..

Oh, those moments are tough for any parent, and we all, for the most part, get them. Be ever strong, this too shall pass.
Prayers for you. The stronger the love, the stronger the anger. Sixteen year olds have strong emotional mood swings. In time, she will be your best friend, as my oldest daughter is now with me — after difficult teenage years.
Thanks for
Your encouragement
Hugs to you, dear Maryam. From all I’ve heard and seen, the only thing anywhere near as difficult as being parent to a teenager is being the teenager. I hold you both in my heart and hope for healing and reconciliation, and in the meantime, patience on both sides.
xo,
Kathryn
