How do you stay connected with an 18 year old daugh who becoming distant. especially when she lives with her mother in another country. I love her deeply and want to keep our bond strong, but lately, she avoids calls and messages. I dont want to pressure her, but the silence hurts. Has anyone been through something similiar?

    I don’t know if you’re divorced or not, but it doesn’t matter, the guys over in r/DivorcedDads, can give you some great advice on this topic.

    Good luck.

    Let me know when you find out. I message on the different services and wait. I’m told they’ll come back to communicating regularly in their mid 20s.
