I have been living with a man whom I dearly love and cherish for the past ten months, as well as with my teenaged daughter. My man is wonderful to me in every single way and I love him with all of my heart. The problem is this.........
He has PTSD as he is a Vietnam veteran. He worked out almost every issue while in treatment for 15 years, except that he needs a lot of solitude and quiet and little drama to maintain his equilibrium. He is retired now and works on projects during the day while I am at work, but my daughter comes home from school at 2:30 and starts with her teenaged problems (clothes, boys, school, etc...)
She is a typical teenaged girl who dresses in jeans and band T-shirts and wears dark eyeliner and black nail polish. Her interests right now include MySpace, her friends and rock groups period. I understand that this is just a phase and she will grow out of it, but her teenaged issues as far a sex and boys and how she dresses are major stressors (more)
