Claiming you have no agency because you're a 'tool' is just abdicating responsibility in another way, you know...
[ He's just gonna slump down until he's sitting against the wall. He still seems. Off-kilter. But a little less so. ]
You have free will to some degree, so you're not a robot. And a parent is also supposed to guide their child to apotheosis, in a manner of speaking, y'know. If you have the will to think, you have enough selfhood to understand that the rules you find yourself bound by always have loopholes — I can't believe I'm the one explaining this.
As for what I'm supposed to do. I dunno. I'll probably try to talk her down while she tries to kill me. Wouldn't be the first time I've had to deal with an obstinate redhead who's out for my blood.
...But she needs her family to come in and hug her and remind her that she's loved beyond being the "Most Beloved Child In All Of Creation". It's one thing when that love is a promise to her by her destiny or whatever, that makes it feel unearned, like she is only loved because of the god she's supposed to become.
She needs her parents to be willing to love her enough to step in and set the boundaries that a child deserves, and not expect her to take on so much responsibility before she's even in high school.
