One thing that comes to mind...and I hope makes you feel a little better...we often fight and show our true hearts and lay it all out on the line with the people we love the most and trust the most in the world. She, in my mind, is "safe" with you and able to "let it all out" with you. Disrespect is never ok, I'm with you there. But next time she vents...and vents...and vents? It's because you are her mom...AND her friend. Makes me smile a little because I imagine my relationship with God is much the same...I vent and vent and vent to Him because He is my "safe" place. I go to Him because He is my Father...AND my friend. Hang in! Teenagers eventually GROW UP (I'm reminding myself of that as much as I am reminding you!)! LOVE YA! Becki You are awesome.

Teenagers fight most with the parent they relate to the most - for girls it is often their mom. Love does cover a lot of sins, and it also brings them out into the open to be dealth with. You turned out wonderfully - so will she. God is there to cover you both. I hope you share the last part with her. beautiful lesson and example for all mothers-and daughters.

Im a mother of two girls and sometimes I wonder how I will survive their teen years with how they are now! I love what you said about Love wrapping around our sin...even at the young age my children are I must remember that my love for them will cover many of their sins and help me deal with it!
