send her ass to jail..... if u let her get away with it now it will never stop. being a good mother does not mean taking abuse and maybe when shes in jail with real criminals and away from her loving mother she will learn to appriciate you enough to never hit u again. ultimatly its her choice to change or not but its your job to teach her to be a good person and somtimes that means doing the hard thing and making the hard choices u deserve better. ask yourself what u would do if somone was beating her and do that for yourself!!!!!!!!

You can't take that! Just because she is your daughter doesn't mean you can let her get away with anything: you need to teach her what kind of behavior is acceptable and what isn’t. Have you tried to sit down and talk to her about how this is making you feel? Not mom to daughter - person to person. Try to find out how she feels about the whole situation, and make her understand that “just” because you’re her mom it doesn’t mean you don’t have feelings too. Maybe you could talk to her school: find out if she acts this way there as well. Try to find out if there is something you don’t know about that has made her start acting like this. If she doesn’t want to talk to you, maybe you could encourage her to talk to someone else about this? Good luck to you and I hope I’ve said at least one helpful thing! - T

A lot of teenage daughters these days are "out of control." Maybe you need to lay down some solid foundations and when they are broken, consequences are handed out, strictly, and consistently. Next time she tries to hit you (succeed or fail), then call the police. It really straightens kids' acts up. I'm 15, and once when I was about 12, I hit my mother (by accident, although prior to this I've hit her) and she called the police on me, convinced I had hit her on purpose. I spent about a month in juvenile, and it really matured me, honestly. She felt so bad she cried while I was in there. It showed me how much she cares. Although afterwards this event, I wasn't welcoming her in my arms, in an embracing hug, but it did help in the long run. Also, your daughter will be put on probation probably, and drug tested. If drugs are detected, this may be another reason why this is happening. Talking won't help in certain situations, but it could. Hope I've helped.
