[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds incredibly hard. My sense is that if you can somehow manage to project genuine happiness for her and acceptance of her feelings, you will be the irreplaceable, immovable figure in her life for years to come. Of course you’ll want to scream inside but try to just light up when you see her, even if it feels like you’re getting scraps. When she’s in her 20’s you can expect more graciousness and parity [/quote] This is really good advice. I have a friend who is wrecked by the teen years and her daughter is pulling away and my friend is so desperate to keep her close that I worry that her desperation is so off putting to the daughter that it is widening the gap between them. So the advice to accept her feeling and express genuine happiness may be good for both of you. [/quote] Agree this is good advice. I'm sorry, OP, I can't imagine how painful this is. I'm confident she'll come around with time and maturity.[/quote]
