Stay strong RR17. 15, 16, and 17 year old girls don't always know why they are feeling angry, upset, etc. But they will try to blame others for it. I have received a lot of blame for my daughter's feelings from her over the last year and a half. Deep down she knows it isn't me.

A few months ago my daughter brought up a situation where she was being defiant. This incident happened at least 2 years ago, maybe even 3. I got frustrated and threw a water bottle down to the floor. She characterized it that I threw a water bottle AT her. Which was no where near the truth. When I said "I never threw a water bottle at you." She said "Well, it was towards me." I then refuted that, and said "I threw it to the floor. Which I should not have done, and for that I am sorry for losing control of my emotions. But I never threw it at you, towards, or even had that thought." She knows it is true no matter what she wants to project.

So give your D17 time and space. She'll eventually realize that her anger or whatever she is feeling is misplaced.
