[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I think you need to apologize for saying f#$% off to her.  Just that.  No I lost my temper because of the way you were speaking to me or anything like that.  Just an apology for losing it and that there is no excuse.

Do not expect a conversation back.  You will be showing her what a mature adult does when he loses his cool and showing her respect.  She'll likely not acknowledge it, but she will appreciate it and, one hopes, internalizes it a bit.

FWIW it's worth, I've long maintained that you haven't lived as a parent until you've been told "You are the worst f@#$ing mother (father) in the whole world."  Just remember, it's not them talking, it's their illness (adolescence).[/quote]

I did apologize after the fact. There was no reaction.[/quote]

You mean no visible reaction.  I wouldn't expect one.  But it will pay off in just a bit more trust of you going forward.  (Provided of course it was a completely unconditional apology with no buts or saying it was a reaction to her behavior.)[/quote]
