Cathy, I have 3 grown kids. BTDT... and I know it's NOT easy!
You are doing the absolute right thing. You have to be firm and consistent in spite of her backlash. If you slip up she's gone... and you won't get her back.

My kids were all a challenge in their own way. I battled with them on a regular basis and now they tell me they're glad I did even though at the time I really felt they hated me for it. They do eventually outgrow the rebellion and come to realize that you were just being a good loving parent and protecting them from their own teen angst.

Hang in there. Time is the only cure.
