[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our twenty-year-old daughter seems to want to avoid spending time with my husband and myself. When she does, she is sullen, gives curt responses to questions, rarely smiles, and rolls her eyes at just about everything. I had expected behavior like this when she was perhaps thirteen to eighteen years old, but she stayed very sweet during those years while her friends went through that phase. But now it has hit full force when I thought we had managed to escape the “sullen” teenager phase. Is this a delayed phase or is this more of a permanent personality change? I always look forward to seeing her on visits but am so sad afterwards. I am hoping that there is light at the end of this tunnel?[/quote] Everything is a phase so don't worry about permanence. However, may be there is something going on in her life or your expectations of her which is behind her behavior. Mind what you say around her.[/quote]
