When parents and teens get stuck in painful cycles

My teenage daughter and I have been in this cycle for two years where she pulls away, I chase, she gets angry, I get hurt, and we both end up feeling like the other person doesn't understand us at all. We used to be close and now every conversation feels like walking through a minefield.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
