Emotional distance
My daughter was caught shoplifting clothes and vodka. I am so disappointed in her right now that I don't even want to take her anywhere. I can't be my loving and cheery self with her. Something changed. It is like I emotionally detached from her. I'm tired of caring about her school when she doesn't put effort in it. And comes up with excuses to put it off. I'm tired of her bad mouthiness. I'm tired of her disrespecting the rules and being pushy and manipulative and lying to my parents and me. I feel like I'm dealing with her dad again. I don't feel close to her right now. I don't even want to be. I'm not good at pretending. It's like I don't even care anymore. Apparantly she has a hx of shoplifting from stores with this friend she got in trouble with. She broke my trust and hope big time. I just don't care anymore. I'm not going out of my way for her anymore. I feel really betrayed. I'm so sick of her sh--!
