Teenage daughter so defiant

Hi I feel at the end of my tether every day with my 14yr old daughter. She won’t get off her Snapchat every evening so goes to bed late then she swears when I try to get her up in the morning and I struggle to get her out of bed. I ahhe ti keep shouting over and over. The she takes so long to get ready we are late for school every day.
if I try and get her phone from her every evening at bedtime she fights me for it.

my husband moved out 9 months ago and never backs me so I’m parenting alone and struggling with her “can’t be arsed” attitude to abetting won’t tidy her room sweats at me all the time. I genuinely feel really depressed and a bit helpless. I feel like I just don’t know what to do anymore. Do context my husband was verbally abusive to me for years swearing at mr never showing me any respect or kindness so she has observed me being treated like shit for years.

thanks for listening. Please don’t be harsh. Just ideas to help please. Thank you
