[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Relationship was pretty good before she left for school — I mean only daughter and oldest kid so nothing to compare to.

I know she was happy to get away from siblings and the noise.  She communicated more freshman year, she is sophomore now and first couple of weeks she has communicated and then in dropped off, not responding to texts etc unless it was directly reflecting some need or want of hers.

I will say she is very independent and has a PT a paid job while in school etc. She has always had an independent streak but the non-communication seems so sad and also frustrating bc we do sometimes need to connect with her.

The weekly scheduled calls don’t work because she is on call for her job and we never know.

Anyway I am glad she is fine and independent but I do worry and am also sad. I think what a PP said is prob true, we are thinking about her all the time and she is thinking about us not at all[/quote]

How many younger siblings?  Maybe she feels pressured to communicate and that makes her pull back.  Maybe send her a care package now and then with no expectations?  Is she coming home?[/quote]
