[quote=Anonymous]The first thing is to acknowledge what you have control over in the relationship: YOU. That's it. So if you want to be in a better relationship with your daughter, you have to think about how you are showing up in her life, and what baggage and unfinished business you are bringing into the relationship. What are your triggers? (I am not asking here about what she does to you, but rather about the patterns in your behavior and thinking that lead you to react to her in particular ways.) What are your self-limiting thoughts? Do you catastrophize about her condition? I've BTDT with a teen who struggles with depression and anxiety, and the experience has required me to look at myself and take accountability for how much my fears and frustrations impacted my DD. A better relationship starts with you. [/quote]
