When divorce changes your relationship with your teenager

My teenage daughter and I used to be close but since her dad and I divorced two years ago she's been angry with me in ways I don't understand and I can't tell if I'm giving her space to process or just avoiding the hard conversations. We both know something needs to shift but neither of us knows how to start.
