[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all the responses. OP it's good you want a better relationship. It sounds like you don't understand why she is unhappy with you both. I think your best bet would be to see if you can get her to agree to family therapy over breaks and during the summer. Don't frame it as "you are so rude to us!" Instead say you want to be a better parent to an adult, you want to have a better relationship and you want to understand better how your behaviors have impacted her. If you put the blame on her she will refuse. You truly have to be ready to take ownership of your part. If she has some emotional maturity, she will take ownership of her part too, but even if she doesn't, you making some changes will help and she may come around as you make changes.[/quote]
