Over and Over Again

Lately my ups and downs with the teenager have been so frequent that I find myself swinging from hopeful to fed up in mere seconds. I manage to keep up a good poker face with him, as I'm trying not to reinforce his idea that the world actually halts on its axis every time he has a temper tantrum.

However, my anxiety and frustration has to go somewhere (and no, I don't think you'd keep reading if I dumped all of it here.). I'm considering creating some sort of "on call" system in which each of my closest friends get assigned a day and on that day, they have to take my freakout calls. Because really, this would more evenly distribute the weight. OCD? Maybe. Practical? Always.

It can't last forever, right? Right?
