I'm sorry you are going through this with your daughter. Teenage years can be so grueling for everyone sometimes.

Have you considered getting her, or the both of you into therapy? It may help you both to learn how to talk to one another instead of yelling/screaming, the silent treatment, rudeness, etc.

I'm glad you found God and that belief is helping you through this. It's possible at this time your girls are not ready yet to see God as you do. With both their fathers gone, they may feel like there is nothing worth believing in at the moment. If they never truly grieved their losses, it can come back to them in ways that are so difficult to deal with.

These are just some random thoughts of mine. I could be way off base here. But please know that I care and I hope that you will find some ways to help your daughters through this.

As long as you are doing the best you can do to take care of your children, just because they may be rebelling in ways, doesn't make you a bad mom. It makes you a very human mom who has no rule book to follow, just her heart and her best intentions

Keep posting and I'm sure others will chime in with some good thoughts and ideas!

I'm wishing you and your daughters peace and strength!

Hugsssss
