I'll try to make this brief.
My niece is 14. From the time she was 3 until 14 she lived primarily with her father. He was/is abusive both physically and emotionally. My niece did not have a pleasnt chldhood.
Now at 14 she is finally living with my sisiter in another state.
Sadly my sisiter is having a very hard time with her because of course my niece is acting out and doing things that normal teenagers do but she is also out of control in some areas b/c of her past.
She has many issues regarding boys, men , trust.
My sisiter was trying very hard to be patient but is really at a loss of how to approach everything all at once. She kind of lost it today and feels badly.
I am looking for books for my sister and my niece to help everyone be gentle with each other. I know about books for raising little ones but can you start fresh with a 14 year old?
