[quote=Anonymous]OP, a serious question: are you frightened? Your responses here make me think you are experiencing — or trying hard to fend off — some serious fear. That would be understandable.

Fear is a relationship-killer, especially when it’s invisible. It can cause us to react rather than respond. We’ve all been there. I suggest you spend some time naming your fears — first to yourself, and then also to your daughter. Write down the things you are afraid of, all of them, even the things that maybe seem far-fetched. Just know that those fears are in there. Then try to meet her in an emotional space that honors those fears but isn’t controlled by them.

You can still do all the things. You can still have consequences and push for more honesty. You are clearly a logical thinker, and a proactive person, and you love her dearly. That’s great; you can trust that these things are in there. But you might get further, and be better able to help long-term, if you know and can name your fears too. [/quote]
