I am supposed to have my d for the weekend. How do I go about approaching this.
Send her this text:
"Hi Daughter, having a good relationship with you is important to me. I know that there are many things that have gotten in the way of that. I would like to change the way we interact to make our relationship better. I would like to suggest that just you and I go to lunch alone this weekend so we can talk. Would you be open to that? If so, where would you like to go?"
Hopefully she responds. If she responds, that is good, communication via texting is working. If she agrees to go, that is even better. You can go and practice your listening skills.
If she declines, you can practice your validation and empathy skills.
