When our girl was 13 she got in trouble, did some bad stuff. A good girl, but then sidetracked and with unacceptable.attitudes towards us and her younger sister. We had to give her a really severe punishment for 4 months. She changed completely, but t got into a deep depression. Got very humiliated. She partially got over the depression but never forgot what happened. She turned into a wonderful girl that everybody praises. Now, at 15, an honor student, takes part in voluteering activities. She everything that makes parents proud, except that avoids us. After that punishment, she stopped loving us. She doesnt get in trouble and is respectful, but a stranger. We tried everything we could, including family therapy. Yesterday, at therapy, she told us and the therapist, very calmly and with no anger that she really doesn't like us, will never forget what happened and intends to leave us when she's 18. I could feel horrified that was not a teen thing. I got really down, lost my girl.
