Hi,
My teenage step daughter lives in California with her mum and visits us during some of the British school holidays. I have become very close to her when she is over, particularly in the last year to the point where I feel bereaved when she leaves as I feel like I am losing a child for a while..which I am...as when she goes back she hardly contacts myself, her dad and our child whom she is very close to as well. My step daughter cries every time she has to leave (she has been flying over since she was 7) and is very loving to me...but as soon as she goes back she ignores our messages on whats app and does not even bother to read them half the time even though we all know that teenagers are glued to their phones. I cannot understand the closeness and then the distance. Am I just being overly sensitive?
