[quote=Anonymous]let's see, when she was younger you used to do things with her, that was when? when was the last time you talked to her and most importantly, when was the last time you listened to her? When kids are little they talk to us and they do not pay attention too much at how receptive we are. Conversations are also simple because their relationship with the world is much simpler. As kids grow, their relationship with the world startes getting more complicated, there are more layers that before were not there: friends, what do they think, how do they look etc. These things are harder to control and if there have not been a continuous and strong connection with your child that bond that you had with her when she was little, will get lost. Lost until she goes off to college and then her memories of a wonderful childhood will bring her back to you and you will have a wonderful young adult daughter wanting to chat with you again, that or maybe not. 
My advise is to respect her distance but try to find out the things she likes, things she is interested in and listen to what she has to say. Maybe there are things you can do together like go to the movies, a trip or something.[/quote]
