I have a 17 year old Dd, who is my world. I have been there for her through everything.
I stayed at home with her until she went to school.
I arranged my work once she was at school,so I could be there to take her to and from school.
I have been to every doctors appointment, hospital appointment,parents evening, parents meeting,careers meeting etc with her.
I've helped her with any concerns shes had.
I've done everything for her, from waking her up in the morning,to making her breakfast and packed lunch to ironing for her and picking up after her even at 17.
We have always been the best of friends and she's never been any really trouble to me. Apart from being a bit lippy and untidy around the house. So can't really complain.

But this week she has spoken to me in a very disrespectful manner and called me an offensive name in front of my friend and sister twice.
I told her how dare she speak to me like that. How disgusted I was with her and that I didn't deserve to be spoken to like that, as I have never been so rude and disrespectful to her or anyone else. I also told her it was only making her look bad. Which is a shame as everyone that knows her has always complemented her on being a lovely girl.
She didn't seem to care. Just shrugged and said ok.

Am I right to be annoyed?
What else could I have done?
I'm so unhappy about this as she's always been golden and we've always been the best of friends.

What prompted her to say it OP?

Just difference of opinions on car insurance and because I didn't see something properly in dim lighting.

So nothing major and we wasn't arguing, as simple as that.

I think you need to make it plain that name calling is totally unacceptable by anyone. It’s pretty normal to think it but at her age she should be know better than to verbalise such thoughts.
