Is it worth stayinf for the sake of a disrespectful 11 year old daughter?

My husband and my daughter came back here to get some things. As me and my husband were trying to talk about the situation, my daughter wont stop yelling "Shut up!" "You don't use your brain!"

But my husband smirked in triumph! Looking so proud of what his daughter is saying.

I don't know in which way I can speak to my daughter. I tried being quiet and not make any reactions, but she was yelling abusive words towards me.

After the incident last Wednesday, when my daughter almost push me down the stairs, it's absolutely a lot worse now. It sounds like she has been brainwashed so much. She uttered a lot more negative insults towards me.

I am fighting to stay, but I don't know what has been said to my daughter. She seems not to have any remorse at all.

A'ight im tryin' not to get too far outta my lane, but shouldn't you be able to control the situation, being the adult and all? Like it seems kinda unusual for you and your husband to be fighting in front of her, and then not telling her to go to her room or whatever when she yells at you.

It is not easy as it looks.

Yes, what your saying is the expectation.

But this one is a reality.

I stood my ground as a parent. But it is not easy to impose descipline here in the UK, as the law greatly protects children. Even yelling is considered a big thing for my daughter. She threatened me of calling the police.

I lost the battle of taking away the phone.

Sending her to her bedroom is a joy for her as she stays in her bedroom all the time.

I wish what you say is the magical way to be able to rectify things.
