I can understand how she’d feel a greater need for her mom during this time of change. Those are awkward years sometimes with dad. Good luck with all of these transitions.

I don’t think I have any good answers, but I can definitely relate. My step-son came to live with me when he was 13 and he was right at that same time of changes in his life. I think it’s a learning process and my best advice is to listen to them and takes queues from them about what they need at the time.

I do think tweens/teens remember and reflect on the efforts we made when they were going through rough patches, though it may not be for a long time. That means, like you said, that every single effort is worthwhile, if not now, later, to the child. Kids are def. worth the effort, even when it’s hard. 🙂
