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.
