It has been absolutely wonderful watching him grow and me getting to know the person he is turning into, but it has also been very rough to say the least. I need more guidance and have started to read more books on the subject and even go to counseling once a week to help me set boundaries, be consistent and always show him that I love him.
Right now I am reading Parenting Teens by Cline & Fay and Stop Arguing with your kids by Nichols.
Does anyone know of any good online communities where I can learn more from others?
Of course I care what my bosses think of me. I want them to remember that I am good at what I do, capable of handing tech projects, and really want to be there.
One thing that bugs me is the cliques. Even though they are not as defined as they were in high school, they still exist and I feel like a misfit. If I were in the cool clique, I would be
more into the music/bar/drinking scene. I would love to hang out with them and listen to music—they really look like fun people. Another clique has babies and are in their own mommy world. Maybe there are a few others who just hang around with whomever wants to do things with them. I plan to find the other misfits, and then move out of my comfort zone into hanging around people I want to be with, but if they don’t want to be around me, then too bad for them. I can’t change for others, only myself.
As for my other friends, they are really just people I do one on one stuff with. No real clique of girlfriends which I really need at this point in my life. That is my quest because they will totally reinforce that other’s opinion of me is not as important as how I feel ahout myself, how much I love myself.
Right now, I would not like to be around me most of the time because I’m depressed and find conversations very difficult. I need friends to show me how much wonderful life can be especially when things outside my control fall apart like they have lateley.
I keep a blog if anyone is interested. http://leavingminnesota.spaces.live.com/
