But I am a teenage girl so maybe I can help you out. There's a cute analogy I saw on a TV show where the girl is pulling away from her father and he's hurt and frustrated with her. So his wife says "When you buy a belt what's the first thing you do" and he says "I bent over and tie my shoes to make sure it won't snap in half" and the wife replies "Right, but you don't want it to break, because you want it to support you". Teenagers pull away from their parents because they want to know they'll always be there. They want to know you care enough to set down the rules but still be the kind considerate father they need. I've been disappointed in many ways because of this, but I know well enough to know that you won't disappoint your daughter. Or Elliot. Let them know God is there and do the best you can. If it is your best there's nothing more you can do except trust. God Bless You! I’m not a parent. But I am a teenage girl so maybe I can help you out.

I only have one tidbit of info. You will never forget the first time she crawls up into your lap and hugs you and says I love you daddy. I think those moments will get you through the tough times.
