By the beginning of this year my daughter messed up. She's always been a very good girl, but, I couldn't understand why, she joined a bad crowd and did some wrong stuff. She apologized but got punished anyway, I got very disappointed and it took me some time to trust her again. Much more than the punishment, this hurt her really bad, made her suffer a lot, to an extent I couldn't realize then. Now I think I really exaggerated, she was just an excellente girl that messed up. But she got extremely resentful, could never get over it. We had a wonderful relationship and it was destroyed. She says I didn't act as a mom, I couldn't understand she is human and may make mistakes like anyone else. Well, now it happened to me. I made a mistake, she trusted me and I broke her trust, and it was my fault. I apologized, she just said a cold OK. But in her eyes I could read "you didn't forgive me, a girl, and now you, an adult, do something worse and want my trust". How can I save our relationship?
