Going back to the questions I raised above, is your ex-husband active in your daughter's life? If so, is he concerned about these developments? It could help if he expressed the same loving and firm concern that you are.

I totally agree with Trinity on basic respect, regardless of what your daughter currently believes. The consequences for a lack of respect need not be physical. But, there must be consequences. You are in charge, not your daughter. She couldn't treat anyone else the way she's treating you, without severe consequences. Whatever means you use, get the absolute, basic, bottom line necessity for basic respect established, today.
