JS, ouch what your D said must have really hurt. But she is a teenager so she is going to act like one. In many ways the WAS is like a teenager, saying things intentionally to hurt, rebellion, mood swings and regrets later on, but your teenage D also loves you with all her heart and dont forget that. No matter how close she is to your W, you are her father her rock. Try making a connection with her, very slowly. Show interest in what she does, she might be suspicious at first but when you stick to it she will respect that you are trying. She is old enough to understand the dynamics between her parents and this will create more confusion in her mind. Dont doubt her love for you, she may not show it to you now, but at the most critical junctures of her life she will always want you. about the DB coach, I havent had one myself, but if you are contemplating it then you should get one. I am sure they will have more insight and directed advice for you. - Arshi
