[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My biggest piece of advice to you is to forget about one person (who has no idea about you, your daughter, or your relationship) tells you you "should" be doing. If your DD wants to keep in contact, let her. How on Earth is that a bad thing?[/quote]

Completely agree.  My mom and I have always been very close.  I'm now in my mid-40's and consider her my best friend.  We enjoy talking all the time and I am in no way an "emotionally stunted" adult!  In fact, I'm probably a healthier adult than I would have been without my mom's influence and perspective.  Chatting often with one's parent(s) while in high school, college, and beyond is a great thing, not something to be ashamed of or worried about.  [/quote]

Wow, that is awesome.  Coming from a completely dysfunction family, I try hard to raise my DD (now 17) to have a close relationship with me, while also being independent.   What is it about your mom that makes you want to be close to her, while also being emotionally healthy yourself?[/quote]
