I Am Having Family Problems

Ok so please don't judge me it has took a lot for me to come on here at write this.

I hate my family life, my teenage daughter who is 17 as made family life hell on earth over the past 3years or more. On a daily basis she tells me I'm fat, I'm a slag, I'm a useless Mum, I can't cook, laughs cause I only work a hour a day. Recently she told her college that she was homeless and that she was at harm obviously after they spoke to us they realised there was no problem and further action was taken. I just hate her she makes my life a misery. My husband is no use he doesn't take any side but does nothing when she kicks off. She needs help but won't get any if she refuses help we can't do anything. I just wanna run away and never come back I am not in love with my husband anymore and the only reason I stay is for my son and the lack of my own money. Please help is anyone in same position xx

I have an ex stepdaughter who was just like this ...

We decided to treat her with disinterest ..didnt listen to her at all ...removed her tv, video recorder her CD player (this was in the early 90's) if she wanted to go out we checked her story where she was going who she was meeting etc ....if didn't tell us she stayed at home ... When she had a go at me or her mother we just ignored her ...lots of slammed doors...
When she was rude or ungrateful ...we were as bad and sometimes worse back ...she got the message eventually....8 months it took her ...her brother had the time of his life every thing was done to make him see this kind of behaviour was unacceptable...he was treated like an adult (14) ...he gave respect as we showed him respect ...

After the hard shock treatment ...she slowly calmed down ...

My cousin was a child psychologist..we asked her for advice at the beginning
To see if this would be wrong action to take ...
As long as we fed her ...clothed her ...looked after her in general ...it may work it may not !!!

I hope this helps ...

@Bobsy2018 thanks but we have tried most of this and unfortunately it hasn't worked
