My Daughter Again?

When I was raising my daughter, many people would tell me that they preferred to raise boys rather than girls.  I begged to differ on many occasions and although I thoroughly enjoyed raising my girl child I now understand why they say this...

MY DAUGHTER HAS GONE STARK RAVING MAD!

She is disrespectful, angry and downright hateful.  I asked her yesterday if she was hiding something from me. ( Because that's how she behaved when she was a teenager and was hiding things from me.The thing is, she's 24 and I suspect she is.  I texted her.  Boy did she get mad! She said I was picking fights and that wasn't going to make the cut.  All of sudden she seems to have turned into a total stranger overnight.

She accuses me of doing things that I didn't do.  Because, I ask myself...Did I do that? Like my car broke down and I asked her if she could loan me her car for work.  She loaned me the car and I used it for about a month. Then, she demanded it back.  I told her that I would return it and just buy  myself a new car.  She says forget it and buys herself a used car and tells me that I can keep her car.

Then she says that I wasn't going to return her car anyway.  She fabricates reasons to justify her actions and does not take responsibility for anything.
Nothing I can do about it or her.  I'd like to slap her.

She is staying over her aunt's house right now. She didn't take all of her things.
She only took some of them.  I wish she'd come get them all because the prospect of her showing back up on my doorstep on a regular to get anything is just too painful. I've made more sacrifices or this child than either of my other children.

I don't feel that she owes me, I don't appreciate her attitude towards me.

Deja vu. It's me and my mom all over again.  The difference is, she doesn't know me well and has created in her head who she thinks I am based on what my family says about me.  I tried to get to know my mom but she wouldn't reveal to me who she was.  She's my mom and I'm still me.

I don't like her.  I wonder if I will like who she becomes?
