[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you should ignore the posters whose first reaction is punitive.  [b]Do they actually have teens?  [/b]There is something deeper going on with your daughter (you mention she has no relationship with her father, is in a bad friend situation, and is lonely).  You know she is taking these feelings out on you because you are her safe space.  Let her know when she hurts your feelings, stay calm, remove yourself if necessary, but please try not to overreact.  Also talk to her therapist and maybe find one for yourself.  [/quote]

I am a teacher and a parent to a teen with ADHD and mental health issues. And I’m willing to bet that most posters here have teens. That is why they are so incredulous about the situation. Because plenty of parents have teens with mental health issues and still impose boundaries. Of course, something deeper is going on, that doesn’t mean a child can be so disrespectful and terrible. Don’t you know boundaries make children feel safe? This child feels out of control and her behavior shows that.
