Daughter growing up. How to deal?

I’m struggling with the changes my daughter is going through. She’s 10 and is becoming a teen pretty fast. She’s always been quite mature and maybe a little further along than her friends. Which is something I’ve taken pride in in the past. She’s always had this curiosity where she would ask me about something and we’d talk about it forever. A couple of years ago she heard in school about a guy named John Lennon. We talked about him and listened to his music, and I’m not even a big fan. I just really loved that she was interested. Weve shared countless conversations about countless things. We’ve always had this strong father/daughter friendship that I felt nothing could affect. But now I feel things are changing. And I’m not dealing with it as well as I thought I would.She has a lot less time for me, and I really miss her. I mean, it’s not like she’s out all day and I don’t get to see her. She’s in her room and no matter how I try I can’t interest her in anything. And instead of thinking “well, maybe next time” I just get hurt and even angry. And I don’t ever want to associate those feeling with her.It’s come to the point where I almost can’t communicate with her with out there being some kind of friction between us. And it’s tearing me apart.I realise that she’s just growing up. And I know that probably every parent goes through this. But it’s my first time as she’s my oldest and I’m at loss.How can I learn to accept that she’s growing up. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2JQHSbv
