Not to worry.. I have been through that phase. She will go through this time where she will try anything to find out who she is and be her own person. For some unknown reason you are not supposed to do this with parents around. Please don't worry, it is nothing personal. In time she will come back to you and realize that you are her best friend and have been so all along. I have been through this with my family several times and I am only 24. I have come to realize the amazing love my family has for me, and how they will truly love me no matter what I manage to do wrong. They have been there for me no matter what and I realize now how much I need them in my life. Your daughter will come around soon enough. For now, sit around and just keep an eye on her, soon she will be coming to you for advice and for a shoulder to lean on.

Is she 9 yrs old, 13, 18 or 27? If this is the classic case of her going to high school and not having time for mom anymore, the best thing that you can do is just be there for her when she gets into messes and wait until after college....she'll definitely come back and you will be like peas and carrots all over again. In the meantime, here's a hug ( )

Thee seems to be some details missing here. How old is your daughter? Does she live with you? Is she an adult, married, moved away? You didn't mention the girl's father either. Is he there or not? There are too many open things for a concrete answer.
If your daughter is a teen, sometimes they don't relate well with their parents for a while since the hormones juggle everything up inside.
A daughter who is married and living away, well it is only natural for her to seem distant. She has her own life with her husband now.
You need to be more specific in your situation.

Sounds like something is being held back most likely something your daughter is ashamed or embarrassed to admit. Or fears you will not approve.
But How old are the two of you. If she is a teen then be honest and gently question and voice your concern. If she an adult, her life may just be moving too fast. Set up a routine monthly date to have lunch. Even things like the zoo and stuff that might work well for the teen. But keep talking till she ends it or opens up.
Hey you might print your question here and just give it to her and ask the question. "Help me out"
Now that I went back to read your answers, I strongly suggest set the girly date schedual

Have Patience, the harder you hold on the more she will fight to get away. She will not be able to be your friend for a few years. Let her grow up on her own a little.In the mean time be a kick *** mama with rules and consequences. good luck

You're not raising a child, you're raising an adult...as such she will start acting like one...
She won't need you as a mother as you have been for so long...she does however need you as that role model you so hope to be.
It's normal, no matter how bad it hurts...you should be proud.
Best of luck,
Billy!

Be a good friend of her and respect her privacy which she cannot share with anybody.
May be its time when agirl meets someone else to talk about something else and u should not be upset of this period of transition.

You can't always be their buddy, but you can always be there to be their parent. Keep asking questions...keep digging. There might be something there you need to know.
