A reporter at a national publication is writing about why the relationship between mothers and teenage daughters is so fraught and is looking for people to interview about their personal experience.

Are you a mom who has found that your relationship with your daughter changed (and became tougher) when she became an adolescent? How did you cope? What did you do to try and bridge the new gap between you? (Did you consider therapy for one or both of you, for example? Try other measures to try and reconnect and make the relationship less fraught?)

Or are you a dad who feels caught between your wife and your teenage daughter when they fight?

Or are you a therapist who works with moms and/or teenage daughters?

If you have instructive stories to tell about how to make the mom/teenage daughter relationship work, please email by FRIDAY AFTERNOON with details and contact info. You MUST be willing to use your name in print. Thanks.
