Until then, try to make the experiences positive! When she does come to you, go crazy with praise and maybe even treat her. Make her WANT to come to you. If everytime you're around each other you're frustrated, she'll sense that and won't want to be near you.

Good luck.. just stick it out. It'll get better.

Great advise and so true!
I wished Buddy's first year away, really. I always feel guilty about it too
but I know where your coming from. In the end it was worth all the
stress. After that first year it was just amazing how he developed into
the nice young man he is today. I have no idea what I would do without
him. It will get better I promise.
