[quote=Anonymous]This is not the answer to your question, but…My mom and I had terrible teen years. Although I earned excellent grades and did not drink or do drugs, I kept dating boys/men several years older than me that my mom had forbidden me to see. I remember her telling me that she did not like me (to be fair, I’m sure i was pretty unlikable!). I lied all the time about where I was going and what I was doing. I was actually pretty promiscuous (not proud of that, but there you have it). In my sophomore year she kicked me out of the house because I wouldn’t follow her rules. I went to live with my father; my mother and I did not speak at all. I came back summer before my senior year and she kicked me out again during senior year but this time I went to live with my boyfriend. I ended up going to college, attending a top 5 law school, but most importantly for this thread, my mom and I started talking while I was in college and became very close. After I completed my education we spoke every day and saw each other frequently. In the end, I was her primary caregiver in my home, prior to her passing away. So…there’s hope! I turned out ok and so did our relationship. Don’t write your DD  off yet.[/quote]
