My daughter is 16 and she has Aspergers . I have mental health problems and because of that she lives with her dad and unfortunately she lives in another city . I don't get to see her as much as I want to but we text and talk through whatsapp and I send her presents/ gifts when I can afford it .
We have quite a good relationship but I want it to be better . I can't seem to talk to her on a deep level . I know we love each other but I want us to be closer . any tips or ideas how I can do this and really get her attention?
Also I've wanted to say sorry to her for a long time . when she was younger I was very unwell mentally plus I was drinking way too much as I had no support or help . because of that I wasn't a good mum all the time or at least I made a lot of mistakes . she never seems angry at me about the past, would it be a good idea to try and talk to her about it or not ? Thanks for reading this . I hope you didn't mind me posting this here .
