I agree. If you're not on the same page, or even in the same chapter, there will continue to be problems. I'm sorry you're struggling.

I don't know at all if my experience is relevant, but here goes anyway. At 15 I was still trying to win my mom's affection. She had a volatile temper, was controlling, and critical of my sibling and I. She never hugged me or showed affection. I remember hugging her every day after school and hoping she would reciprocate. But it was not how she was. I started to pull away emotionally in my early 20s. It took me years to realize that her love language was acts of service; she worked herself hard for our sake and expected the same. My love language has always been physical touch and words of affirmation. We never connected on the same level, but there was always a deep love between us. The fact that your daughter still comes to your room and sleeps on the floor tells me that she is still craving some kind of emotional closeness and a sense of security from your love.  [/quote]
