Ive been through a lot but with God's blessing and guidance i made it till now. It's a good thing that my kids are so cooperative and understanding of my other responsibilities in organization and business sometimes they just sleep with their nanny but i always made sure that we do have a family time together during the weekend where we attend church, going to cemetery and stay overnight in our resort. I pray that you and your kids will overcome the trials that you are in right now. May God guide you and bless you always....

Just ask. You may be suprised. <br /><br />You need to find out whats troubling your teenage daughter. Do something with her alone without the other kids. Maybe she will open up to you. Teenagers and young adults often need their parents more than when they are small. Spending some alone time with her is key. <br /><br />Good luck!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652453955713086372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212812194162323258.post-34235971774276045642009-11-15T22:45:24.584-06:002009-11-15T22:45:24.584-06:00I find that parenting alone is one the hardest tas...I find that parenting alone is one the hardest tasks I've ever had to take on in my life. I have one..I can't imagine three. I'm routinely jealous, if not callous, of two parent teams...though there's not enough time for comparisons these days. I'm too busy being a single parent..laugh.

It sounds like you are doing it well, especially given the various demands on your time. Just hang in there. <br /><br />As far as your teen goes, it sounds like maybe she does just need some extra reassurance right now. I think it's harder for older kids to express their grief than it is for younger ones. I was nine when my dad died and I remember being much less sure of how to express my grief than my daughter is. Just try to keep that line of communication open as much as she'll allow it to be. And again, keep hanging in there.Split-Second Single Fatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192370092337202063noreply@blogger.com
