[quote=Anonymous]OP you can be mad about your daughter taking your password, if that's what she did.  But you can't be sure.

You can be mad that your relationship with your ex wife is not collaborative.

But being done over this facebook photo is totally unhealthy.  It's annoying, and if she did really steal your password it is definitely disrespectful.  But enough to end your relationship with your daughter over?  In no way, ever ever ever.  GEt a grip.

You need therapy.  You have a 14 year old daughter.  She is going to be impulsive, and dramatic.  She is going to be self-centered.  She is going to make mistakes.  Where are you going to be when she tries alcohol, and maybe has several drinks in a less than safe place?  If she steals your car?  If she has sex?

Your daughter also has two feuding parents who from your post alone are clearly feuding immature and selfish too.  She needs your help as much as you can give, actually more than you seem to be able to give.

Find it in yourself to create a relationship with your daughter based on guiding her to adulthood.  It's a long road.  Get some therapy and get yourself together to be the dad she deserves.  Yes, she will make mistakes and will deserve to learn they are not acceptable.  But how is your being done ever an acceptable punishment?  For murder, ok, but this is not in no way that.  Get some perspective.  You are clearly still having trouble with the divorce (and even if your exwife is totally to blame you still need coping strategies) that you need to deal with in therapy too.

Yes, you are proud, which is great, your daughter is obviously in a good place in some ways.  Think about keeping it that way.  Grow. up.  If you can't get over yourself and be a parent your daughter will remember forever.  It sounds like she will grow up to be a good person but if you want a relationship with trust, you have to extend just a little right now.

Finally I'm guessing you are here on DCUM looking for endorsement because you've told someone this in person and they told you you were crazy.  At least I hope so.  You need a friend who can see through your anger.

Please work on yourself for your daughter's sake.  She needs you.  You can't write her off at 14 over this or anything.  I really truly hope you know that.
