Mama is right Ann,
I have teenagers too, and have been going through a tough time. In fact my youngest one upped and left three weeks ago, simply because we had an argument about her cleaning her room.
I was so upset, yet i spoke to her today, and she is happy as anything. Mama is right they dont know what they say or what they do. Most kids are pretty selfish. They act out all the time and as if they know everything. I cant tell you I work with young people as well, some as young as just 16 who have nowhere else to live. Every single one of them, even up to age 22 or something - they really are just struggling to find their space in the world. They dont fight me, but I hear the same thing over and over from kids about their parents, and as mine said it about me too, I know now not to take it personal.
Even if you smoked you would still feel bad, its just the mind playing tricks. I hope you read the Allen Carr book, I found it useful for getting rid of the brain washing that we do to ourselves from a long time smoking (I know you were 35 years, I was 22.5 I think Mama was 35 years) thats a LONG time... you cant expect to unlearn that behaviour overnight.
