(See above post re getting through things rather than around them :) )<br /><br />Christine, thank you.<br /><br />Kat, oh it means so much that this resonated with you. yes, that's it: so hard to watch them navigate.<br /><br />Slow panic, Mayberry, thanks.<br /><br />Chrsula, yes, that's about the same age. I'm so glad it helped to share. I hope you and your girl are better now.<br /><br />Slouchy, read that, commented, so touching, thanks.<br /><br />Ewe, yes so hard, so very hard. I do want to step in and fix, but I have learned to empower children to fix on their own. Mostly. But her heart is sensitive like you caught.<br /><br />Well versed mom, thank you so much. I know you will be the strength and consolation your girls need.<br /><br />Mr Lady, I'm touched, thanks. :)Julie Pipperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169574697104642479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-27673549118644013852010-03-23T12:44:01.686-05:002010-03-23T12:44:01.686-05:00She is wrapping herself in cotton.

Such a terribly hard thing to learn, to internalize, as an adult sometimes... even harder as a sensitive, kind girl who just wants to have friends and be liked. I'm sorry she's having such a difficult time right now...

I'm sitting at my desk almost weeping for your beautiful girl.<br /><br />It's so hard to watch them, and help them, navigate this stuff. Sometimes we can't do anything and that is THE worst feeling...indescribable, really. <br /><br />I used to tell my now-grown son, when he was her age, that the school years are something to be endured and that adulthood is SO much better, just hang on. And thank God, it's turned out to be true, for both of us.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254181459688488318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-42134720923215439852010-03-11T12:04:11.531-06:002010-03-11T12:04:11.531-06:00oh julie, i'm sorry your sweet girl is hurting...oh julie, i'm sorry your sweet girl is hurting & that her once-upon-a-time friend is hurting, too.<br /><br />xoxoChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662448292809451387noreply@blogger.com
