Scenario

When parent-teen trust breaks down in both directions

My teenage daughter has been lying to me about where she's going and who she's with, and when I found out and tried to talk to her about it she said she only lies because I don't trust her anyway, and now we're in this awful cycle where neither of us knows how to trust the other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Mutual distrust between parent and adolescent creates a self-reinforcing cycle where protection feels like control and independence feels like deception.
