When mothers and adult daughters can't find the right boundaries

My adult daughter and I keep getting into the same fight where she says I'm too involved in her life and I feel like she shuts me out, and we both walk away hurt every time. We love each other deeply but we can't seem to find the right distance, and I'm worried we're damaging something precious by not knowing how to talk about this better.
