Wendy, my daughter and I were close,too. It killed me when she chose to go off and do a program in England right out of high school. And then she stayed about 8 years total and got married! It was very, very hard for me. Now she's back in America and living just hours away and she has my beautiful granddaughter. We are close again. One thing I finally learned is that relationship can come right back and be stronger than ever. Be strong and be supportive of her. After all, we raised them to be strong, independent adults, didn't we?
