How do you approach this with 12-15year old daughters? as quick as a switch, I’ve gone from being mum who they know loves the bones of them to a mum who is as wanted as a piece of discarded chewing gum.
(The relationship with them are already strained due to a lot of toxicity from father & family causing what seems is alienation.) I try the firm & calm approach, but they are so disrespectful. Lying is coming easy for them, apathy & a mirroring of their Dads behaviour & views of me. It’s so hurtful & hard not to take offence. (I know the teenage brain is complex! It’s just hard to navigate when they’re also living with the people who hate me most).
