My 16yr old daughter has been living with me for 3mths after a 4yr absence, she has come back with an attitude as she now smokes, drinks heavy (when she's not at home), is dating a 20yr old (who I approve of, he's very nice and has a good strong family). When she is in a bad mood she takes it out on any/all of us, including hitting her 4yr old sister, lies to all of us including her boyfriend about her times at home, doesn't help around the home, is either at her boyfriend's, or sleeping off a hard night/weekend, or complaining of stomach aches or period cramps as an excuse for not going to school (Yr 11) or turning up late to avoid classes she hates. I have talked to her about these and other problems and she answers back as if she will amend her ways, but doesn't, I have had panic attacks due to the stress. Please help, I am desperate for changes but would hate to tell her to leave, but don't know if I have a choice or not. Plus I'm wanting to move house , which she's not happy
