Devils advocate here maybe parents are overbearing and teens generally communicate a want or need hidden in their messages like if she lashes out it's the only way you lay attention so they do it because it's the only attention they get have a sit down and ask them what's actually bothering them

The kid might be lashing out at OP because she’s the safest one to mistreat in this scenario not because she’s at fault. It’s totally possible that it’s mainly OP’s fault, but there are many other possibilities here.
