When divorce aftermath strains parent-teen relationships

My teenage daughter and I have been fighting constantly since her dad and I divorced two years ago and I can see that she's angry about things she can't say directly. We both want to repair our relationship but every conversation seems to make it worse, and I think we need help figuring out how to actually hear each other instead of just reacting.
