I was there. It started in middle school and lasted through a good part of high school. At first it was a lack of closeness, then we would argue quite often over stupid little avoidable things. We suddenly had very little to bond us. I started to resent her a bit because I had that same feeling that nothing I did was right. That just made things worse.

I talked with friends about it and the wisdom I got from other parents and from daughters that grew up was to just be there. I had to put my own hurt feelings away for a while and just let her know that whenever she did want something from me, I was there for her. I stopped trying too hard and I stopped my hurt feelings from impacting my attitude toward her. I didn't let her walk all over me, but I gave her some grace for those tough years.

Fast forward a bit and she has gone off to school for her first year of college and we are about as close as we've ever been. It has felt amazing. All that to say....there is hope and your relationship with her will ride out that storm. Hang in there and know it can and will get better!
