My parents feel so distant

This week we answer a question from a teen who says his parents feel like they're more and more distant. The teenager wants to know how what could be going on and how to start building a relationship with their parent again. It's a really great question and hopefully some youth workers and other teenagers and be helpful in answering it with some advice. QUESTION: What's your relationship with your parents like? We love you guys!
