When parents and teens are caught in a cycle of broken trust

My teenage daughter has been lying about small things — where she's going, what she's doing — and when I confront her she says she lies because I don't trust her anyway, but I don't trust her because she lies, and we're stuck in this cycle that's making both of us miserable.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Trust breakdowns can create self-reinforcing patterns where the response to broken trust generates more reasons for distrust.
