This Crazy Life

My oldest is a high school senior.  She’s going to graduate in just a few short months.  I feel like I should be doing more, checking in with her more, making sure she has everything ready, is enrolled in college, check when she’ll sign up for classes.  But she doesn’t want to grow up, she doesn’t want to graduate, she doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life.  So talking to her about these things greatly increases her anxiety.  And well, I like to be an ostrich sometimes, and put my head in the sand.  When you have so many problems or issues at once, and one person doesn’t want your help, then it’s easy to say, ok fine I’m not going to worry about you.  But when do I worry about her.  When do I force some decisions.  I don’t know.  I’ve never done this before.  She didn’t come with a manual.  It’s all new territory for me too.
