[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of days ago she was telling me how she wanted to go to a college near our house so she could always be near us and live with us during her college times (she doesn't like being separated from us for long like no sleep away camps or more than 2 night sleepovers) and I had to tell her if she still had that attitude then no we wouldn't want that. She then asked me if we would kick her out if she were 18 right now and I told her we would give her money, get her a place to stay and kick her out unless she improves on her attitude.[/quote]

I'm so, so sorry for your daughter.

When I was 18 and was dropped off at college, I asked my dad if he would miss me.  He confidently said, "Not really, you've been a jerk for 5 years, it'll be nice to have a break."  I am now 39 and still cry when I think about that. Our relationship has always been strained in my adult life, and probably never will be any different.

Tell your daughter you love her.  That's it. Just say that. No strings attached, no, "I love you but..." Just let her know she is unconditionally loved.  And if you can't say that, get yourself help. Teens are hard, but they don't mean to be snotty.[/quote]
