[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't blame you for feeling sad about it. DD is your biological daughter. Of course, you as her biological mom desires to have a real bonding time with her. The fact that she is a teen supports her "teen-attitude" which most of them are not likable by parents. I have a teen daughter myself. When we were on vacation, she also showed that her phone is her whole world. I told her that the only reason we put effort and money on this vacation is that we want to have a real relationship time as a family. I told her that I understand that she "needs" to connect with friends. But getting together as a family only happens in such a short time. In your case, I would consider talking to her heart to heart about the mother -daughter relationship. She must understand it. You may want to know why she does not want to connect with you. If she refuses at first, don't lose heart. One day she will come to you realizing that you are her only mother she has. I hope you get your daughter back soon. [/quote]

Thanks! I tried to reach out to her while we were away. She thinks I'm boring and that I don't have fun the way her dad and his family do. I guess I need to liven up a bit. [/quote]

She's obviously playing you or being intentionally hurtful - probably having nothing to do with the vacation. You need to be you, and be her parent.[/quote]
