I do a LOT of reminding myself how it felt to be eleven, or twelve, or in junior high, etc. It helps understand her moods, but it doesn't really help me tolerate them. lol I remember my anger escalating through my teens into my twenties when I literally had to fight my urge to kill my mother. And I wonder who will protect Scarlett from me when she gets to be that age, because now I know that feeling was mutual.
