Is It OK to Walk on Eggshells and Feel Boxed In?

The way you show up is the way they become, or the opposite of what you are. Your daughter's going to learn one of two things: that she can bully and intimidate any one she wants,. When she gets into a relationship, that it's ok to walk on egg shells and feel boxed in and feel drained. And we just hope they stay safe. We just hope they don't take too big a risk, and hope they come out of it ok. But the kids are often going to do what they're going to do. So what we have to do is try to be the best roll model for them.
