[quote=Anonymous]PP, I wish you had been my mom! I was like OP's daughter and my mom never "got" me, and finally just let me kind of flounder on my own. I pulled things together for myself with no support from my mom by the time I was in high school and went on to have a lovely grown-up life. Still, the hurt of knowing that I wasn't what my mom wanted and that she wasn't willing to invest in me has stayed with me 25 years later. Op, you sound like you do care. I agree with the poster who said that you need to provide a scaffolding for your daughter. Giving her structure and support and a sense of the permanency of your relationship will get her through the impermanency of body changes, friend shifts, school switching, etc.[/quote]
