Grateful my daughter said she respects us.
My daughter is 18 and we are all adjusting to her newfound freedoms. We went through some really hard times with her in the past and just when we learned to keep our heads about us with teenagers, now she’s an adult.
Today we had a little upset and it’s something I would have over reacted to in the past. We talked about it and moved on.
Then at dinner, she was talking about how much her friends are struggling with their parents and how their parents are abusive and overly controlling. I felt the need to point out that compared to what she was describing, our rules and boundaries were super reasonable. And she agreed! She then went on to talk about how she’s so grateful that we have grown in our relationship and how she loves her family and appreciates us and respects us. She even told me that she brags about me on her social media which I never knew.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
