I had another fight with my 17 year old daughter last night. She sees it as over something stupid (she messed up one of my good towels), but that is just what set me off. She never respects my stuff or the fact I have to clean up after her messes (ex: hair dye on bathroom countertop). Then when I do get mad she freaks out cause I yell at her telling me I have no right to yell. She thinks she can do what she wants when she wants. She disrespects me and my home. She has six months till she turns 18 and I am counting the days. I wish so bad I could let her move out now (which she asks every time we have a bad confrontation). I am soooo broken hearted that I can hardly stand to look at her. I fight every day to make her life better. To not forget what it is like to be her age. To understand what she is going through and be sympathetic. What do I do now? It hurts so bad that I don't want to go on anymore. I don't know if I would if I didn't still have a twelve year old.
