She will come back. Just like you did. And yes, the more space you give her, the sooner it might happen. I had an AMAZING conversation with my almost 20-year old about a month ago. So many times he commented about my ‘good point’, ‘you’re probably right’, ‘hadn’t thought of that’. I was BRILLIANT! Whereas the last six years I’ve been a complete idiot, knowing nothing about anything. In that moment though, he had come to me, not the other way around. She knows you’re there when she needs you, just like you always knew the same about your mom.
