Teenagers Anonymous

I’m going to start a support group for the parents of teenagers.

Why is this shit so hard?

Why am I banging my head against the wall week after week; saying the same shit all the time?

Trying to help this person that I brought into the world…it’s abso-fucking-lutely maddening.  It’s having your soul sucked through a coffee-stirrer. It’s water torture.

What is the problem with just doing what you’re supposed to do?

Do the work.  

Turn it in.  

Dress for gym.  

What’s the problem?

My worst fear (besides the obvious) is that I will leave this period of my children’s life completely insane.  I’ll be insane and they’ll be just fine.  They’ll be going about their business and guess what?  

They’ll be visiting me in the institution.

If you want to join the support group, call me: 1-800-RU-CRAZY


Happy Wednesday.
