A parent is seeking guidance from R. Eric Thomas after their daughter ceased all communication. The estrangement began after the daughter witnessed an ugly fight that ended the parents' marriage. The parent admits to losing their cool and calling their ex names during the conflict. Despite constant thoughts of her and repeated attempts to establish contact, the 14-year-old daughter has not responded or spoken to the parent in over a year following the incident.
