Dr. Laura,
Thank you so very much for getting back to me. Your words have inspired me to put my best effort in repairing my relationship with my daughter. You have given me some wonderful direction and I am going to share it with my husband and try to come up with some ways we can both follow this game plan together, as he has been experiencing the same thing with our daughter. I look at her sometimes and I am so filled with love for her and so in awe of her sheer existence. The fact that I was blessed with having her in my life and feel humbled to be able to mother all three of our girls. I want to do what's best for them always and give them security, structure and guidance but always cloaked in love. Thank you again for your advice and guidance. I will let you know how we progress.
