She sounds autistic, the high-functioning kind. There are variants where the child is oppositional like this.

She absolutely needs a full neuro-developmental evaluation. Ask for a referral to a developmental pediatrician, get on several waitlists if need be.

I know you're at the end of your rope. I would be too. Please don't hurt your child. This is what desperate parents do.

Best of luck, OP.

Wish to add, she acts this way with you, because you are her safe person, the one she doesn't need to mask around. 
Masking is frequent in autistic people. 
My friend's child had similar troubles as a kid. She has a complex diagnosis with ADHD, anxiety and autism in the mix. She's defiant and hyper-emotional with her mother, but acts practically normal with everyone else.
My own child, who cried and vomited a lot when younger, but has never been demanding or defiant, has ADHD, autism and anxiety. He acts the same way towards everyone. These two kids have the same diagnoses on paper but have very different personalities.

Please get an evaluation.[/quote]
