My 15 year old DD has started to kick off at everything telling me to F off shut up I literally have no life as I’m single no family and her dad doesn’t help. Iv had enough tonight I told her I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship she’s so aggressive im
cknstantly on egg shells she screamed so much I had to go sit in the car again. I didn’t want to come in. I dread everything at the moment and don’t know what to do anymore

im
so sick of this every day

Take a look at non-violent resistance. It’s a game changer. I’m sorry 😔

It’s usually not the parent that is the problem but children take out their stress and upset on their closest member of the family, usually their mother.

I know when my DD kicks off, there’s a friends issue she’s dealing with or I hate to say it, it’s her time of the month. But usually friends issue.
I try not to take anything personally and if I’m feeling like I’m walking on eggshells, I generally just stop trying to make conversation as I know she’ll speak to me when she’s feeling calm/better.

Another method that worked; I just sat in her room and told her ‘I know there is a problem just tell me what it is so I can help you’. After a few shouts and denying any problems she finally opened up and we dealt with it together.
