It seems like overnight my only child and best friend can't stand me. How is it that my 16-year-old girl can treat me so poorly when I have done nothing to provoke her? She doesn't share anything ...
You received an excellent answer (thumb up AdviceMamma). I would like to add:1. That is a typical behaviou of a 16 y.o. 2. Don't forget that she is at a very confusing age. 3. She is turning from a girl to a young woman. 4. She is confused and is checking the limits and testing her powers. 5. She is doing the first steps towards independence. 6. But she still needs you (both) desparately. 7. Accept her as she is, be there for her, help her and try to understand her. 8. take some distance and hope that she'll change her attitude as soon as she becomes more settled. 9. You have good reasons to believe that that present situation will improve dramatically (I'll asay within 2-3 years).
