I’m with all the others who say if she’s 18 and working a full-time job, she should be paying her fair share of the bills. ESPECIALLY with an attitude like that. She needs to understand that though she may technically be an adult, she is and will always be your child. It’s your house, you make the rules. If she wants to have a disrespectful “adult” judgmental attitude towards you, then you can punt her into the world so she can see just how cruel it can be.

And don’t have the attitude that she doesn’t make enough money to pay rent, or to live on her own if she chooses. She does. Even with a low-skill, high school educated first time job, she is earning plenty to do so; many people do it. Yes she’ll be struggling, but still probably not struggling as much as you are just to put a roof over her head and food on the table. Also, when she turns 18, don’t you lose some portion of your disability that covered her as a dependent child?

Just my thoughts on the situation. That child (yes, she’s still a child) needs some real-life education.
