[quote=Anonymous]DD24 and I are very close. I was close with my mom, but not near the type of relationship I have with my daughter. As she was growing up, I encouraged independence. I allowed her to make mistakes with the idea that mistakes are how one learns. I let her fight the battles that were hers - rarely did I get involved, unless she asked me to and if it was appropriate to do so. There were times when I told her that the issue was one that she needed to resolve. As hard as it was, I tried to remain nonjudgmental about most things. I gave advice when asked - and I still do. It is not unusual for her to call to ask for guidance on certain things. Basically, I gave her space, but was there to listen and help when things didn’t go as she hoped. Did I make mistakes? Heck, yeah. But, I allowed her to live HER life. She is a fabulous, successful young woman. [/quote]
