The first thing I think you should do is to put the slapping incident behind you and not allow her to use it against you to make you feel guilty.
Next, I would (like the others above me have said) work on establishing a father-daughter relationship, instead of a friendship. She needs to have well defined limits and boundaries and also needs to know what the consequences will be when she does not comply.
I commend you for hanging in there. Keep doing so. |
