My daughter is 15. I think the fact that there are so many crazy people out there has made me a bit over protective. My wife and I are divorced but I have continual contact with our daughter.
I know at her age, she is somewhat hard to reach but I want her to understand that I love her and I only want to protect her from the sick people out there.
I had a conversation with her the other day, which now I am regretting. She was home from school after two days of being ill. There are 3 phones in the house, her phone was busy for over 4 hours so I could not get through. I dialled her mobilephone, no answer. I dialed the other home phone, no answer. I then called her mother and explained to her that all phones were not being answered and that only her phone was busy for over 4 hours.
When I called again, later that evening, I was furious with my daughter for not answering the phones. I regret the conversation but I was worried. How can I get her to understand?
