It is likely your daughter displays either Bipolar Disorder or a serious conduct disorder/personality disorder. If she displays Bipolar Disorder she will require medication as well as therapy. You have to set a firn limit on aggression. If you 'allow' yourself to be mistreated the way you do, the behavior will not stop. At the first sign of aggression you should summon the police. In addition, there is likely something seriously amiss in the parent/daughter interaction, and you should seek help for yourself as well.

Therapy alone will not solve this. Arrange an appointment with a psychiatrist so that your daughter can be prescribed medication.
