If you don’t want your daughter to be physical with you, it would help for you to set the same example by not spanking her. Spanking her sends the message that when we’re Upset, we hit. If you can show some control and use your words with her, it will help teach her to do the same.
Is your daughter in therapy? If she is not already, she probably should be. If she is, can you ask her therapist for advice?
Most kids at that age just want to feel loved and understood. They want to know they are important and their parents will love them and stick by them no matter what. I know you’ve chosen to send your daughter away for now, but you could still call her and tell her you love her and will bring her home as soon as you get some help for yourself so you know how to handle these situations better. Do you see a T for yourself? If so, can you ask for parenting strategies to help you?
