There really isn't anything you can do. My oldest was about 16 yrs. old when she told me the same thing. She also told me that she hated me, because she didn't think I was a very good mother. She is now 24 yrs. old with kids of her own and one day she called me up and apologized for saying all the bad things to me when she was a teenager. She said that she understood now that she had kids of her own.

I said some truly awful things to my mother when I was a teenager. If I could ever go back in time I would go back and not say any of them. The only advice I can offer is to let it roll off your back like water off a duck. They're just trying to bait you. Later, when things are calmed down, maybe you can have a real talk about how hurtful that was and how inappropriate. At the very least, know that they won't be teenagers forever and someday they will feel very bad about what they've said.

I agree that most teens think it from time to time. I also agree that she's struggling with something - whether that be her relationship with you or something entirely unrelated, she's got some issues right now and it looks like you're the outlet.
Personally, I wouldn't tolerate disrespect like that, and the words would need to be dealt with, in addition to the feelings behind it.
As upsetting as it is to hear such things from your own children, take a step back and you'll see this is not uncommon teenage behavior, and like everything else up till now, you'll get through it just fine, I'm sure.

Obviously your teen is struggling with something and it isn't neccessarily you. Just stay calm and maybe leave some reading material around about how to better deal with their emotions. It never hurts also to let your teen know that you should never say something that you could regret.

Any time a teen says something harmful, such as "I hate you," or what you mentioned, just reply with, "I'm sorry that you feel that way. I still love you though." Walk away.

I would take them to go see someone and find out why they wish harm to you. It isn't okay for them to be doing this.
