AITA for throwing my (52M) daughter (17F) out of her home?

My oldest daughter have been such a moody teenager this past year! Last summer she decided that she couldn’t live in our family home anymore. Apparently my wife (50F) have been abusive and controlling (?!!) towards her all this years, and my daughter blames her for her mental health problems. She was always crying and making everyone miserable. All girls and women have SO MUCH FEELINGS, you know? Whenever my wife screams at my daughters I just lock my ears - I am the only man I this household I just can’t take the whining!! Because I am a good father i allowed my daughter to move to my parents house and after just a few months she was calling me frequently, crying on the phone because my father apparently walked around naked in the house, sexually harassed her and my mother were having her usual angry outbursts. I mean - she was totally overreacting and she was using my time I would rather use on something more important...

Anyways, in March she called me suddenly while I was on my long usuals walks and she seemed quite distressed. She talked very fast and I just needed her to chill out! She told me my mother had been extra angry last evening and that she had been shivering all night and not being able to sleep or think clearly. I obviously didn’t hurry because she is always exaggerating, she is such a drama queen. When I came to their house she told me she could not live with her grandparents anymore. I stayed calm and suddenly she started shouting that she hated me, she fell on the floor and started having a seizure (we later found out it was a dissociative seizure and not dangerous) and I told her that I didn’t think she should move out when she had so much problems! Anyway, with the help of my wonderful wife we got her cheap place and now she pays all the bills except the rent and the phone bill, and I think that is fair because she is working outside of school.

But then she started to become more unresponsive and I got angry with her and came to the door of the apartment and made it VERY CLEAR that she had to talk to me and do more stuff for me and when she just answered that she was fine and I had to stop making noise I got even more furious and started banging at the door, until a neighbour stopped me. I later apologised to her of course because I love her and I sent her lots of hearts and told her how wonderful she is. But then after some time I found out she had blocked me on the phone, so I used another number and said to her that if she didn’t answer on my message I would change the lock on the apartment. She did answer of course, but she had still blocked me. So I decided to do it anyway! My daughter got a message one hour before that the man I hired would come and change the lock, and when we were in the apartment she had left!!! I later got informed from her school that she had been outside all night, and that they were going to contact some authorities. My wife decided to go to her school to give the staff the key of the apartment with a warning toward her daughter that her actions will have consequences. So now my daughter is in her apartment again and in under a month she is 18 and she has told us that she will move to another place then and not have contact with her family anymore, and we don’t even know where she is going! And when we ask her what we did wrong she would not even tell us. My wife is in so much pain. My wife has had a difficult life and my daughter has no empathy for her!! I love my daughter very much and would never do anything to hurt her. So AITA?
