Relationship -- One thing each day
Relationship between DD18 is strained w/ me and DH. She is good kid. HS graduate. Was honor roll student; swam for nine yrs.; in school band; respected leader (by peers and adults) in youth group.
Does not feel supported by us. Has been distancing herself from us for years. Has attitude problem.
Is leaving in Nov. to do voluntary service for 7-8 months. Rebuilding homes in Gulf States.
Wants to move out. Peers much more important to her than family. Has decided that she will continue to try to work things out at home fo remaining 3 months. For now.
I'm thinking about doing one thing per day to let her know I love her. Don't have many ideas.- A supportive email.
- A wrapped gift - maybe a frame with a picture of the family and a nice quote.
- Do the laundry for her.
What else? Any ideas. I don't want her to move out now. I don't want her to leave in November with hard feelings. What can I do.
