my parents were always there for me when i needed to talk. We get along great! I never felt like i had to hide anything or sneak around.

OHMIGOSH!!!
I was about to post a message that would have been almost identical to yours. My 7 year old daughter even uses the exact same words. I feel like I've tried almost everything.

I understand what you mean by wanting to 'get along'. I have never tried to be my daughter's friend, but having one day without major conflict would sure be nice.

If you find anything that works, let me know. I'll do the same for you, if anything seems to help.

thank you very much. Once i figure out a way to stop it, i will fill you in:)
