Drifting Apart

😪

😢💔

😢😢

I am sad for you. What about taking her out for a lovely meal, or the cinema or both. I expect you have tried all sorts already, it can be a difficult age. Sometimes I think teenagers just need more and more love and hugs, but don't feel able to ask or show their feelings in that way. Then sometimes words come out that make them seem touchy, but really they are just trying to find their way in the world. Hope things sort themselves out soon for you both✨🌟✨

This is very sad 😥 from a daughters point of view just be there for her let her know your there when she needs you how ever much she refuses your invites etc keep communication open even if it's all one sided, me and my Dad are extremely close but at 16 I hated the world and most of all my parents but it passed as I'm sure it will with your daughter 😊and I hope I'm patient when my daughter reaches that age 😱 lol 😘

Totally agree with what has been said by the lovely ladies @sleepydragon @sjw ...your daughter will find her way back to her daddy as long as you keep your heart and door open 😘😘😘😘

Yes as the others have said. It's a difficult age for girls neither child nor adult. But don't close the door, be there no matter what, perhaps even write her a poem just like this and leave her knowing your there and always will be.

Waiting is hard, I know, been there.She will find her way home. After 20 yearsm

....20 years, mine found her way back.

@sleepydragon thanks for writing I'm sure time will get us there

@sjw @misslittleDHP @eddie12309 @steampunkwriter2 thanks you guys I'm quite philosophical about and my door is always open and many have said give it time, she will come back. Yes, I remember myself at 16!!! Thanks for your thoughts they were good to read :-)

@eddie12309 cheers I might just email her my poem !!!!!! I'll sleep on it

Agree with @eddie12309 I think you should send it to her, she may not appreciate it rite now but I'm sure it will give her food for thought 😘

I read your account of you and daughters relationship, but believe me you won't lose her, I can say this because it happened to our family but the split has caused no drift. Both girls love their dad more than me or anyone else in the world. Just keep showing them how much you love them, they need their dad.🌞🌞🌞

Thanks scary @marymint I appreciate your kind thoughts and input

Ohhh! Sad 😔 Don't worry. She'll come around. Just keep letting her know you're there for her when she's ready. If remembering birthdays and soppy thing alike that are important in her life, do what you need to to not forget! You sound like a caring Father indeed 💗👍💗

@ckahn thanks, I know it's a difficult time of life 16, I'm sure it's only time that is required, thanks though :-)

Yes. Sounds like you're dealing with it sensibly though. 👍
