wh,wh,waw

In the last month or two my teenage daughter's behavior is telling me that we have turned a page. We were chatting a few nights ago and suddenly she got upet at me and hung up. We have not spoken since. This is absolutely new for us. She did this in the context of arguing back and forth between her father and I indirectly through her over the phone. I understood what happened as it occured and I prepared myself for the fallout when it did come. But this time, it is about something I said and she chose to respond as she has. Of course I am considering her feelings and having to wait because she is not picking up the phone when I call. Apart from this being carried out in front of her father, the fact that she is reacting this way when I have done everything I can to teach and train her to talk about things...is disappointing. But here it is. So stay tuned.
