And she literally won't listen she just follows you around seeing give me my phone, not responding to anything. It escalated into me telling her to go to her room her not listening to me, me telling her she had 5 seconds to do what I said or I would do it for her...
So after the next 5 minutes that resulted in a 16 year old girl having a temper tantrum and trying to claw my walls to avoid being put in her room, trying to claw me..which resulted in her being put in a full nelson, then when it's all done.........she cries and says I hurt her.
It's all a bullshit game, all of it. A lot of it is why I feel I have no answer.

Yea, that truly sucks. The only thing I had going for me was mine was 12 yrs old. It took a couple months before I could let up on being such a hard ass. Since I'm single it was all up to me to get her lined out.
On a side note, I had to start taking HBP meds about a month after they moved in with me.
Wish I could come up with something that would help other than to just endure it until she's old enough to put out on the street.
