Scenario

When parent-teen relationships shift and parents feel lost

My teenage daughter and I used to be close, but now every conversation feels like I'm failing some test I don't understand. She's pulling away in ways that feel normal for her age, but I'm struggling with how to love her well from this new distance without either smothering her or disappearing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
