Heart Broken

How many times can a heart be broken?and still show love and trust. Why do we feel lost and alone,when its about to bust. Ive studied this many times, but still im at a lost. To know why we feel this way, i only know it cost. You see i have a daughter,who has just turned fourteen , and wants to live her own life no matter how it seems. She has broken my heart and caused lots of worry and pain, But everything we do or say,to her its just that we are mean. We show her love, buy her things, make sure she is safe from harm, But because there are rules to follow,she rebells and says we are to firm. So rather then lose her love,or see her run away, We compermise and give in, just to have her stay. We look to other for advice to get her life turned around, But all she wants is to live her life and be out on the town. School is not an option,to her thats a waste of time, But to see her live her life this way, to us thats a crime.

I hear you Dad. This is many a parents plight. I have one son and I did not have this sort of issue with him, though my parents may have thought they had it with me. I was asked if I'd like to spend summer with an Aunt. It sounded just like what I wanted O U T. It helped alot just being parented by others a bit. / "only know it's cost" (I'm bad on to ' or not but the s is necessary)"and wants to live her own life no matter how it seems." bump this down a line to be before "own life"
