Couple seeks to mend strained relationship with adult daughter after parenting challenges
A couple seeks to improve their strained relationship with their adult daughter, Willa. They express pride in her accomplishments but acknowledge difficulties stemming from their strict parenting style and her choice of boyfriend. Despite efforts, including family therapy, Willa has distanced herself, especially after her boyfriend entered the picture. The couple is uncertain about how to rebuild their connection with her. The advice suggests that Willa's independence may be a result of their parenting approach. Re-establishing a close relationship may require her willingness to return to family therapy.
