First, thanks guys. Second, yes I've asked she insists she's not lying and then refuses to talk and says whatever and walks away or she'll just say nothing, nothing is wrong. I've tried counseling, she refused, she says all I say is the same thing over and over. I've asked what can I do. She just stares at me. Guess you just got live it to understand, it's hard to explain. I'm just afraid that if I ignore the situation she'll think I don't care and that she can get away with it. If I address it I'm hounding and pushing her farther away and possibly to the next level.
I've tried to say that her actions cause my reactions, that if she'd just clean her room, etc I wouldn't harp.
Just needed to vent mostly. Parenting is hard, especially when you can't lean on anyone, or say hey, your turn to deal with it. I have these girls pretty much 24/7, dad sees them maybe one night a month.
Thanks for listening.
