Mommy Moment

I learned a long time ago in a women's group how important it is to identify the cause behind the emotion and  that will explain the reaction. Most anger is generated from fear, stress is the body's reaction to anxiety which is normally caused by fear as well. ... Okay I AM HAVING A MOMMY MOMENT and it is colliding with my daughter's need to be independent and my desire to keep her a child for as long as I can. My method is ending in defeat and that scares the crap out of me, since her logic makes the most sense. I wonder if my Mother's stomach ended up in knots each time we left? I remember how tight she held on the day I left to move to Georgia and I was way passed grown at that point; already on my own. Forgive me in advance I might have a few Mommy Moments over the next six months, okay for the rest of our lives. She is my one and only baby no matter how grown she thinks she is.
