Hi Papillon11,

I'm glad you're rebuilding your relationship with your daughter, and are looking to hone your validation skills. I'm trying to do the same thing you are, to get better at validation, and keep learning new things all the time as I get better at this.

How is your daughter doing? Has she undergone any treatment or been in therapy?

Please tell us more when you're comfortable doing so, and let us know how things are going for you.
