From 12-14 can be really challenging ages. It gets better.
I had a couple of ideas:

1- Family therapy. Everyone. All together with a new therapist, just so everyone feels it’s fair.
2- Your daughter needs to meet with a psychiatrist. It worries me the way she is talking. And, a psychiatrist can prescribe mediation and it seems like she may need that.
3- The doctor & psychiatrist need to write a list of medical disorders that can cause behavior like this. You might want to take her to an endocrinologist or autoimmune specialist. For example: Hartnup disease causes one of the B-vitamins to be very low from malabsorption, and a Pellagra & acting out can happen. Certain types of Porphyria can cause psychiatric symptoms. Make a list and have her tested, just to be sure. I have read stories of people committed & then a test gets done and they recover. That doesn’t mean your daughter has a medical disorders, but it’s worth looking into because it does happen.
4- It sounds like you don’t like your daughter. You are human, and she’s acting out, but try to stay calm. Kids can tell which parents like them or not, and if you are her Mom. Feeling unliked by your Mom hurts. (I know.) Maybe set up something once a week for a hour or two that’s fun to do together? 
5- Is there an away camp this summer that she would love to do that you can afford? This would give you both a break from each other and a chance to reset. 
Plus, if she really wants to be at the camp, she’s going to be motivated to clean her room, show up for meals, show up for activities, ect…

Hang in there OP.
