Thanks so much for your reply! I know it’s important for our kids to understand that we also deal with difficult emotions and I think talking about it is definitely good. I just felt so short tempered yesterday and didn’t respond very well but my daughter has such good communication skills she’s often letting me know that she understands but that I could probably say that in a different way. It kind of pisses me off sometimes(LoL) because she’s right- and wise Beyond her years I think. I also think it’s a lot easier for her to move past things than it is for me too which I’m happy about because I hate how I can’t seem to let go of experiences that upset me. It’s definitely something I am working on. I re-live and replay negative experiences in my head so much especially when it’s something I have said or done that I regret. All we can do is move forward reminding myself that. Anyways I can’t tell you how much it meant to me to read your response thank you so much for caring
