Re: Teenager driving me insane

If your daughter won't pull her weight in the house, ignore her. That means providing no services (eg laundrying, cooking, tidying, lending her your car etc) and give her no money (eg for food, fuel, clothes etc). Don't go into her room. Do NOTHING for her.

If she doesn't change her ways by l8, change the locks on the house, pack her bags, and leave them in the garage/on the pavement.

Finally, if the breakup of your family unit was not your doing (ie, it was your ex who wanted to clear out), it isn't your fault how you brought your daughter up. If you over-indulged her it's your ex's respnsibility, not yours.

All the best, and hope you soon get back a loving daughter who isn't a pain in the backside the way she is now.
