Title: It's her party and she'll cry if she wants to Post by: twojaybirds on February 28, 2013, 06:35:21 PM I so saw it coming. My dd has been in the euphoric/manic "how great is everything phase for the past two or three weeks it seems. She started slipping last week - being more negative. Saturday she turns 19.
FB posts have been about the great party - the hooka bar - the dinner; atleast up till today when that changed to " I am doing nothing on my birthday and no one cares." I have stayed clear of it all. I only offered to take her out to dinner or lunch with any friend of hers and a friend of mine (shield) I want to keep it short and sweet - buy a nice dinner and hand her gifts. SHe agreed and picked a friend last night then changed that friend later then texted me today about the NOTHING she is doing. I took control of me. I will come down on Saturday, take you out to lunch and give your presents. You can have a friend with you if you want. See you Sat. at 1:00. I cannot imagine what may transpire between now and then.

I am right with you on the feeling. I hope all goes well.

until an hour ago when she called to tell me how busy she is ... . all her friends are taking her out tonight and Saturday too. I validated the excitement in her voice and told her I didn't want to interfere with friends so just to call me about us getting together. I am inhaling deeply preparing for the emotional letdown which seems to always come especially around holidays.
