You’ve taught her good things, right? There comes a point where she must differentiate herself. Come to know who she is. It’s a normal part of maturing. Many things she needs to learn for herself.

If she is heading for substance abuse etc, then recommend she sees a professional to work out want she is struggling with. She needs some of her own independence. Sometimes she is going to hit a bottom and see or want help.

Just love her. Tell her about all the good things you see and know about her.

P. S. - I am not a professional
