Title: Hard to understand
Post by: Hardtounderstand on July 14, 2019, 11:50:01 PM
I am a mother of a 17 year old and our relationship has gone from great to worse.  We can not communicate without a massive blow up.  It seems the harder I try the worse it gets.  I want her to know how much I love her and how proud I am of her.  It is killing me to not be able to help her.
