[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter sucks. Sorry, but that’s the truth. Some people don’t know how to be loved and treat the ones nicest to them the worst. (An offshoot of this type is women who love jerks.) Since you are her mother and love her, my advice is to back off. The more distant you’ll be, the more she’ll respect you. Maybe she’ll learn, maybe she won’t. Find hobbies and be good to yourself!!![/quote]

Sorry this the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. Late teens daughters pull away from their moms. She’s experimenting establishing her own identity. It’s a normal developmental stage. Mom is mom at that stage, and the step is the fun friend.

When the separation is completed, she will come back with an added bonus she your friend, you will always be her mom. The separation allows the way you view and relate to her to evolve as well.

Motherhood is hard. You pour your heart and the best of you into this tiny helpless little human being and the joy is immense, but then if you’re doing it right, and if you are lucky they start pull a little bit at a time, it happens slowly so you don’t always notice at first, but with those first steps they take, the countdown begins.

I have a tween son, and sometimes I look at him and just want to cry where did my sweet little boy go, time just slow down, and then he does something so intentionally jerky that I say the day can’t come fast enough… lol it’s natures way of priming us both to get ready for the eventual separation.

There is a big exciting world out there, and it’s all in front of them, theirs for the taking. 
 
And mom the good news is, you can accept the change and look at the bright side you can start working on your second act.

That’s life, if it wasn’t the step mom it’d be something or someone else, in the big exciting world to that is hers to explore, the step mom is a different road maybe but it’s the same path. The arc of life.

But don’t worry I like to say daughters always find their way back home to mom. My son on the other hand I’m sure will leave me for some floozy and never look back 😂
