"My daughter is more like me than anyone could ever imagine" Oooh, kat, that's scary. If I met my younger self coming the other way, I'm sure there'd be sparks flyin'!! And if I had RAISED my younger self... *shudder*

So, is your daughter as good at remembering the nasty words she says to others as she is at regurgitating what others say to her? If so, I'm amazed. Most of us are lots better at seeing ourselves as the injured party rather than the injurious party!

Hang in there and just keep lovin' that girl fiercely; from what you said in another thread, you both have been through some terrible abuse and survived, so you KNOW you're both survivors!!!
