[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op I like the suggestions that you respond by saying I'm sorry to hear this, I love you, I'm here to talk about it. Etc She's a high school student right? So, obviously she'll be back home at the end of the semester. In the meantime, make sure you're being honest with yourself. Was it really out of the blue? Is there something she's been upset about (that is unrelated to the things you listed)? It's so important for you to try to acknowledge the thing she's upset about instead of saying "yeah but I was great in so many other ways!" There's also the issue of parents who like to play dumb and act like they have no idea why their child is upset when the child has been telling them all along what the problem is. Just don't be that parent. [/quote] Presumably this is a college student, since op is posting in the Adult children forum, and high schoolers don’t usually do semesters abroad. [/quote]
