did you ever think that she may think that she is the cause of the divorce?
spend lots of time with her but don't be all up in her face, if she wants to be left alone then leave her alone, yet keep an eye on her. so she doesn't do anything dangerous.
she also may be doing this for attention. never under estimate a divorced family. the kids can be sneeky.
it also depends on how long this has been going on. is she turning dark, putting on more makeup, not talking? those are all signs of depression.
be careful around her and watch what you say, because sometimes under all that anger is just mush. you can hurt her and you wont even mean it.
show her you love her and you will always be there for her no matter what.
give her time to get over things, she'll come around.
do not mind the name, i know what im talking about.

Maybe it's not her self esteem that's the problem; maybe it's depression caused by her folks getting divorced. A vanity makeover isn't going to cause her life to return to normal. Divorce is an extremely traumatic, life altering event for kids.

I am not sure why you came to this decision. Your kid needs to be told the reason for this to happen and she should be given a choice to express herself.Her thoughts on this decision and what is that she fears the most by you taking this decision. does she miss her dad? or is she scared to face the society? I think you need to take a counseling before
you explain to her. Maybe the both of you (you & your husband)could take counselling help and try to compromise and make your kids life better. Otherwise, you should be aware & prepared what this desicion is going to make as an impact on your kid.

Divorce is hard on kids at any age, so be patient and do your best to not seem sad about it all. As long as she can see you are going to be okay she will recovery soon.

You, she, and your children are a dysfunctional family. Get into some counseling, hon.
