Thanks Eric. All good advice. The one that really hit home was:

//accept that this is who she now is, accept that every time you speak with her it will be difficult.//

This has been going on a while. Yet every time I talk to her, I expect a different outcome. I am not sure why I expect something different. Maybe I have gone insane. What you are saying is so true.

Another point you made:

//Just do not go overboard. Slow and steady…make small changes little by little.//

I will have to keep this in mind. I am impatient and want to solve problems. This problem seems easy enough to solve, my daughter just needs to do X,Y & Z. I tend to overreact. Maybe a little patience and constraint will work out better.
