[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is 19 and I've found our closeness ebbs and flows. I hated the elementary school years. Loved when she turned 12! Then when she got her first real boyfriend at 18, she pulled away and we weren't as close both physically and emotionally. Now they're on the rocks and we talk for an hour and a half each night and are close again.

It ebbs and flows. Keep trying for connections. Maybe you both like the same musical artist, maybe you both like to eat at the same restaurant, maybe you both like the same stand up comic, etc. [/quote]

Thank you for posting! It seems like you do have quite a few common interests, right? I think part of my “problem” is that we are so different. I mean, I do things that he likes to do but it’s a chore. I am pretty sure it’s a chore for him to follow my lead as well. Even the books we like are pretty different! I had to try and find some sci fi books which I am not a fan of but consider classics to show him, so I do make the effort but it’s still an effort. [/quote]
