[quote=Anonymous]I completely lost it on my teen DD the other day. She has morphed from the darling girl I have known all my life into this snarky, disrespectful creature I think I barely know.  She barely, if ever talks to me.  When I ask her about her day or what she is working on her answers range from monosyllablic to a "what business is it of yours."  Three times in the last week I have found myself in screaming matches with her over seemingly small things.  She is convinced always of her rectitude and if I question what she says, she gets upset and says I do not believe her!  Usually, this has to do with some statement of "fact" she has gleaned from a teenage friend or a teacher.

Last week, she twice was screaming at me - going so far as to call me a "f**king moron."  Well, at that I completely lost it and told her to simply "f**k off."  Two other times, I have told her to "stop screaming at me."  The last time I told her this, she challenged me with a "what are you going to do?"  At that specfic time, I did not have an answer, but I think it is going to be things like:  a) no sleepover with friend' b) no driving lessons' and c) no driver's license.

I know I should not have blown my cool, but I simply could not take it anymore.  [/quote]
