Not a little girl anymore?

Dear Growing Up,

You need to confront your dad about this problem, no matter how hard it may seem. It is important for him to know and understand how you feel.

If you do not feel comfortable confronting him or it does not work, then I would suggest talking to another adult who you are close to in your life. Then you could sit down with this other adult and your dad to discuss your concerns.

I am sure he will understand. It is important for you to figure this out with your dad in order to have a healthy relationship.

Good luck and keep me posted.

Rachael
