Beyond the need to improve family relationships, your daughter needs to work on her emotional control and kindness for her own sake.  How will she have healthy relationships as an adult without vast improvement in how she treats the people who are closest to her? Hopefully your daughter can ask herself this question, understand its importance, and recognize a need for improvement.

OP, how was your daughter's temperament as a young child? I wonder to what degree her behaviors are part of her inborn temperament. Understanding the various root causes will affect how you address these issues.

It is important to understand that the changes that you are seeking are fundamental and will take time to manifest. This model of the stages of change (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination) touch on how complicated the process of change is.

Sending you positive energy and best wishes, OP. You clearly have put an immense amount of consideration into your relationship with your daughter, and she is fortunate for that. [/quote]
