Tension in a relationship is the first indication that something is "off". Often one or more individuals feel they are not heard, understood or respected and this impacts how they interact with the others. The longer this situation continues, the worse it can become. Parents may be tempted to write this off as a phase and hope time will improve things. Sadly, this may only make things worse and make both feel even more alienated from the other.
