Thanks for the perspective, Amber.  And for waiting on some of the stories, though I'm feeling stronger now.

I try to relax into this whirlwind and ride as I can.  I won't know what comes next or how things end, and that's never been ok for me....not as a parent.  I'm noticing how tight I've held myself, how focused on protecting I've been, and I'm trying to step back, and give space.  Trying to see that space. 

It brings up my own teen years.  Looking at my parent's choices, and how that went, is an amazing tool.

Well DD17 has band practice the same day of roller derby practice.  Her teacher told her the time can't be moved a half hour to accommodate both activities.  This isn't sitting well with her since we've had to go in later for make up practices, so it is possible in her mind. 

I think DD will choose roller derby if she can't make both work.  They should move practice if they can, bc the band doesn't want to lose DD.... she's steady and professional and the teachers right hand man.

I m stepping away from statements like...."you committed, now you have to finish this."

DD loves skating, and she's benefitting from being so active.... I can see she's thrilled with it.....not do much with band. 

She'll have to make up her own mind here.
