Sorry to hear that Steve, but please don't blame yourself. Most girls go through this around her age, both of my D's did as well. In general girls tend to draw close to their dads when they are young and then flip to being closer to their moms in their mid-teens. It's a natural transition that is part of them growing up.


Thanks man. It hurts. I made the mistake of catering to her and spoiling her a bit. So she still has a mean entitlement mentality on top of being completely disrespectful to me (and even to her mom).
