Wow, what an awesome and thoughtful post! Thank you, Sue.
So happy to hear things are in a good place for your family now. It’s wonderful to hear your words of encouragement, something we all need to hear at some point. I want to second your observation, that things got better here, too. The last couple years of high school were tough (think previously compliant, studious and hardworking girl turned cynical, rebellious teen having -yikes- shouting matches in class with more than one teacher, the counselor, etc).... But she is absolutely thriving in college, thank goodness. The relief is palpable around here, and the calm in the household is almost unrecognizable.
