As mother you will need to do the hardest thing of all and that is to be there for her. You must keep the communication channels open always reinforce that you love her and your door is always open for her. The more you try to have her come home the more determined she will be to stay where she is.<BR/><BR/>Meet her for lunch, coffee as often as you can as this will allow you to build trust with her. If this relationship is not going to work out she needs to know that your love for her is unconditional and you are there for her. If it works out then you have maintained contact with your daughter and she has not had to 'shut you out' of her life.<BR/><BR/>End of the day this is the most painful way for a child to 'seize' their independence from their parent's and how you handle it from here is important for your future relationship with her.<BR/><BR/>Good luckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
