That's why at this stage in her development it's very important that you maintain a good relationship with your daughter. Act towards her like you would want her to treat you, with respect, sometimes with tough love, and if you have been teaching her in the way she should go, you will need to let her go at some point knowing you raised her the best way you know how. Then you need to trust her to make the right decisions or to learn by her mistakes, and just to be there for her when she needs your support. You can love her, but not her behavior. This a what the responsibility of a parent is, to love their child unconditionally. By your concern for her, it seems to me you already are a very good parent, so I wish you both well and God bless you both.
