Thus because it's against what you believe, you want to isolate or reprogram your daughter to your convictions basically or at least get her in a tolerance of what you believe. mmm mmmm mmmm Is your daughter young OR older? This would probably make more sense to me.
Also respect is a matter of context.

I said nothing about her convictions. She doesn't have standards convictions other than having long hair, which I allow her to have. The issue is that she feels I've left God because I'm not standing for issues she thinks I should. She emulates her mentors (which isn't a bad thing, and completely normal behavior), but because I don't do as they do, she feels I've left God.
Weird, because I've lived this way all her 14 years of life. She's never known me to have uncut hair or never wearing pants or anything else like that. So that makes me wonder, who is talking to her and filling her head with that mess?? It's not her mentors!
Funny though...she didn't feel this way nor act this way until going to youth camp for the first time in her life this year. Someone warned me about being prepared...I should have listened.
I'm all for her having HER OWN convictions. She knows this. I've always told her to live by her convictions and her's alone. That's never changed either.
