[quote=Anonymous]Teenage years are hard for mothers and daughters. Then naturally want to pull away and “prove” they are not kids anymore. I was like you, sort of desperate to hold on. But that only makes them feel suffocated. Plan occasional (not too often) things she would enjoy:getting your nails done or making cookies. A pottery place or movie. Clear it in advance, so your feelings are not hurt (ie, don’t assume interest or availability). If you have some low pressure, relaxing times together, you will both feel better. (The gf is not competing with you. Your daughter only has one mom. That relationship is special but also has inherent frictions. Just take comfort in the fact that your place in your daughter’s life is unique and secure. )[/quote]
