Hopefully, some help Dear Mags
I was so sorry to read about all your difficulties. Teenagers are notoriously awkward (particularly girls), and sometimes you cannot get through to them, no matter how much you try.
Have you thought about writing her a letter explaining how you feel? She could then respond as to how she feels, and maybe there would be some common ground for you both to explore.
It seems to me that her behaviour is that of an angry young woman, possibly because of what has happened to her mother, and the only person she can take that anger out on is you! She is probably scared about the future, too.
As she matures, she will come to realise how much you care for her. But that may take a while.
