HRT & dancing

Hormone replace therapy in a 17 yo girl is filled with lots of conflict. 17 yo girls generally don't like their mothers in the first place, so this is a brand new road we are journeying on. The one thing I really admire in Maliea is that she is so unaware of proper social "etiquette" that she can go out on a dance floor and fully enjoy herself and not care what people think. Wouldn't it be fun if we could all just relax and dance with wild abandon. Lydia cried when we left the ward party tonight because she was having so much fun. This move has been hard on Lyd. She loves running around the new house and has been having fun here but she cries when we take a load and drive out the driveway from the old place. I think that she has started really experiencing different emotions in the last several months and is not sure about it all.
I love the yard around this house. Here is a picture from out the window in the living room. Our nurse Cindy said that if she lived here she might like AZ. This really is nice, to have the space and the green all around. I need to figure out how to make peace with Maliea. I don't know how much is the hrt , how much is just being a teenager or how much is that my mothering skills need some drastic improvement when it comes to meeting her needs.
