Answer
Hi Gerald, your job is to support her until she is willing to hear what you have to say.

She would like to feel that you are their for her and that you do not tell her what to do because if she did she would of ask a long time ago.

She is attempting to live her life and make her mistakes, and although  you have the best intention for her she is not ready to listen.

Your job as parents is to listen and support until she is ready to open and she what she is going through and know that she will not be judge or be told what to do.

She wants to be taken as an adult and not someones daughter.
It will change is you give her room to express herself.
God Bless.
