Single Parenting

Just when I think I have gotten a handle on this single parenting... the kid throws me for a loop. I just know that she is hurting and I need to help her to feel and express these emotions. And yet the ways she does are so out in left field. Her behavior spirals down and then it is all I can do to keep everything together. And then I look for new ways to allow her to express and move forward. And yet things don't seem to move anywhere. It is like fighting with quick sand. I am just praying that she manages to come out of this. Even with the fact that I think court ordered visitation is probably not helping her behavior. I just sometimes don't know.
