My teenage daughter is being difficult. Out of pure hostility she has emptied cleaning fluids on the floor, and toy beads over the stairs and has emptied shaving foam all over the bathroom door. She won't clean up. We, her parents, are powerless in that regard. Now she has put her coat on and gone out. Normally she's a house-body and hardly ever goes out. Because it's in the middle of the day, I'm not worried. I believe that she'll come back when things start getting difficult/scary - she doesn't like the dark. She gives us the silent treatment, so it's hard to communicate with her. If anybody has been through this kind of behaviour, I would appreciate any advice. Unless you have, you couldn't understand how awful it is to have a teenager that is miserable most of the time, and so unreasonable.
