Your 15 yo kid was doing bad and dangerous stuff and you had to give a somewhat severe punishment, thinking you were doing your best. She changed her behavior, left bad companies, and today you're proud of her, An honor student, good friends, does a lot of good things, but, unfortunately, extremely resentful. Respectful, but distant, like a stranger. Avoids her parents, avoids any activity with them, unless forced. Doesn't see her parents as loving parents, says they didn't love and forgive her when she need them most, keeps dwelling on the past. And this for months and months, suggesting t'll keep going for years, years, years.. She refuses to talk, unless forced, and them just repeats the same things. A great girl, but like an statue.
How to deal with this? Can this carry on to adulthood? Should she punished? I don't think so. Should we reward her for her good actions, despite her resentful behavior? She says her resentful behavior is her undenibale right.
