problem is when i do act like i don't care she will stay in her room 24 hours a day...no bother to her she's perfectly happy to do that

if you just let her get on with it, she will start to think you don't care and may come round, you may think she is happy to do that but after a while being ignored may prove to be worse, worth a try (if you havent already)?

it is good advice baz but i'm done doing any battles

Even better ....sometimes , believe or not , it's the battles they are after ....act like you don't care and often they just give up  

otherwise known as the "meh approach"

Yep It sounds counterintuitive, but often it works
