BEING FRUSTRATED WITH YOUR TEEN PART II

Yesterday Dr. Debra wrote about feeling frustrated with your teenagers. She gave very good information about how to handle this. If you haven't read it you should check it out. As I read her blog, thinking about the changes in adolescence and what a struggle this is for parents, I thought about the struggles the parents are having. As we are raising our children we don't think very often about how these changes impact us the parents. We enjoy the fun of this cute little child and we celebrate in their accomplishments; feeling proud. As they begin to break the barrier that is adolescence and as the distancing from us begins we are also going through changes. Our life will change as the child rearing years come to an end. We struggle with what is next. This does not mean this is a bad thing but a change all the same. As our teenagers change and are growing up sometimes we want them to be adults and act grown up and responsible. Other times they are our little baby and we dread their launching from home. For us the parents their emancipation means our relationship with them will change. As the mother of two adult daughters it does not mean that the relationship ends; it just changes. But in the throes of it we feel the loss. For our teens they have the entire world before them. For teenagers this is a new beginning for us it is a loss. This puts us in different places and we need to recognize the changes. It is important to talk about this so we don't take out our feeling on a teenager who is already a bit volatile at times.
