Thanks, Path. It’s really tough, isn’t it? I wish I could let go a little, but I feel like I have to do everything I can to keep steering the ship.

Oh … and why two years? You need to get those applications in ASAP!

Lately, conversations with my kid have gone a lot like this: we’ve done our best to raise you and in two years tops, I’m going to medical school. That means you have a max two years to get your $hit together consistently or you’re going to be pretty much on your own trying to fix it. ”

Kris, there’s NO DOUBT in my mind that you’ve don’t the absolutely best you can under circumstances with raising your kids, supporting your family, which required that you put your own dreams on hold. And that’s commendable. But I think there comes a point in every Mom’s life where you just have to have faith in all you’ve done because its impossible for us to live their lives for them.In other words, NONE of us are the master puppeteers we wish we could be.

BIG HUG!!!

Thanks for your perspective. It’s so hard for me to separate out what is ‘normal teenage pickiness’ and what could represent a problem with her. I am afraid that it is becoming a power struggle too. Backing off hasn’t worked, and I’m terrified of introducing her to cute boys! LOL I was thinking about buying her a vegetarian cookbook for Christmas and letting her start planning her own meals. I just don’t know. I’m really lost on this. I’ll take any and all suggestions!
