My parenting situation is very different than the norm that is discussed here. So trying to give advice consistent with the group isn't applicable.
What advice I can give you, is to love them with your whole heart. Spend as much time with them in conversation about Their lives as possible. Always be there for them no matter what. Be their parent and not their friend.
But most importantly, never give up on them, even when they push away. Being there for them now, will pay off for them, later!
I wish the best for you, and your family......
