Story ⏰🚨 Am I wrong for staying out of my 16-year-old daughter’s strained relationship with her dad? A little backstory—about two years ago, things hit a rough patch between them. Now, she refuses to visit him at all. Her reasons? She thinks his curfew is too strict (9:30pm weekdays, 10pm weekends), doesn’t like that he makes her go to church (she’s questioning her beliefs), and doesn’t get along with his wife. She won’t even speak to the stepmom, which he says is fine as long as she(CONT)

幾秒內	Andranese Irene twirlinmy_locks	a polite greeting. Here’s where I stand: I’ve always encouraged my kids to decide who they want in their lives, and I respect their choices. He reached out, asking me to step in and talk to her. But should I? She’s old enough to form her own opinions, right? I question if I should I get involved for the sake of their relationship? Would love some perspectives on this. (END)

I understand you’ve said church, curfew and step mom - but those are either covers for the real truth or just excuses for your daughter being a brat. Those are not justifiable reasons to go no-contact with a parent. So which is it?

Church….I don’t believe in forcing attendance or belief and at that age, forcing is likely to produce the opposite effect from the one desired. Yes, teens can be fickle but they can also perceive things that adults miss. This sounds like a prime opportunity for family counseling.
