[quote=Anonymous]DD used to confide in me and now she doesn't like to tell me anything. Every now and then she will vent about something just a little. But as soon as I respond, she shuts down and says she doesn't want to talk about it. She has a lot of social issues to work through. She needs help and I want to be there for her. Sometimes she really is being treated unfairly by her friends/peers, but often it is her own fault. I am not gong to sit back and feel sorry for her when I witnessed her bad attitude. So I call her out on it when I see it. I'm sure that this is why she shuts down, but what else can I do? People tell me that it's just adolescence and she will figure it out. But she's 14 and she has been this way since preschool. It's not getting any better. I would like to take her to a counselor, but she would hate me for it. I'm afraid it would make things worse. I just want her to feel like she can talk to me again. Any suggestions?[/quote]
