Does she know you love her dearly?  Do you spend a lot of one-on-one time and listen to her talking about her friends and her issues?  RockRose on this site once said, "Children steal to fill an empty heart."  I would do everything I could, from yourself and maybe with some professional advice, to help fill that empty heart.

Good luck.  You might have a wonderful renewal of your relationship with her if you just sit down and learn all the stories going on at school, everything going on with her friends, and what she thinks about it.  Go out to a local eatery and have a cup of tea, just her an you, once a week, to hear what's going on.  Something like that.  It will make her feel grown up and so loved.

Hi There.

Thank you for your quick response, I have three kids and she is the eldest, maybe I am on the wrong for not giving her enough time and I was a working parent, she know I love her.
Your reply makes a lot of sense....Thank you....
