You are very sweet, Racer.

I know she loves me, and I know that she listens to everything I say (even though she is pretending to ignore me).

I have always believed in consistency. It lets kids always *know* what will be happening - and then if they don't mind the consequences they can choose to do the crime. I, personally, have a hard time with inconsistency. But. It is very hard for me to be consistent these days. On my good days, I enforce the rules that I think are important, but on my bad days (which are probably more frequent than my "good" days) I just don't have the emotional strength to get into the battle. I feel really badly about this, but if I push too hard when I'm depressed then she won't have me at all because I'll be in the hospital.

Thanks for the encouragement - it helps when people remind me that she's a good kid and she does love me.
