ADHD teen sneaking out and verbal aggression

I have a 15 year old daughter that I have a difficult relationship with. We have a holiday coming up and I am not sure how to put boundaries in place.

My daughter struggles with self regulation and has a temper. She has hit two teachers over the last 6 months. She has hit me twice (occasions when I couldn't stay patient with her so things escalated). She is verbally aggressive with me with in seconds, fat shames, isn't pleasant to her siblings.

She keeps sneaking out at night but she is allowed out during the day so I don't get it.

Sun- sneaks out
Tue- I address this with her therapist she apologizes
Sun (week after) leaves at 10pm and comes back in 1am
Mon- tired for school.
When questioned and she first denies it, when she realises the ring camera caught her, she cuts my camera. I go to take her iPad as a consequence. She pins me down and takes her iPad. Continues her verbal threats.

We have a holiday booked in 7 days

What do I do with her?

ime knee jerk reactions like this, suddenly leaping to an extreme punishment, don’t work for ADHD. That was also the advice from a adhd parenting course we did, I was offered through CAHMS iirc. See if there is something similar in your area, it could help you make choices / decisions that mean situations don’t escalate.
Not sure what to suggest in the short term though, it really is a fine balancing act, isn’t it? 😕
