When parents struggle with teenage emotional distance

My teenage daughter and I used to be really close but this past year she's pulled away completely and when I try to connect she acts like I'm invading her privacy. My husband says to give her space but I feel like I'm losing her and I don't know if this is normal teenage stuff or if I did something wrong.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who share deep love are renegotiating intimacy across a developmental divide that requires one to let go and the other to individuate.
