You should make an appointment with a pediatric menatl health clinician who can evaluate the situation and figure out why such interaction is occurring. One thing to work on right away is your perception that your daughter is alienating you from the family. She is not capable of doing this. Is the behavior hard to manage? Undoubtedly. But it's important that you stop attributing such power to a child. She is reacting to circumstances within the family - that is what needs to be evaluated.
