My 25 year old has bipolar type 2 and I am often at a loss as to how to deal with many of her issues. I have been patient and loving and supportive, but I'm wondering if I have been too patient.

Many people tell me I should kick her out to live on her own. My thinking is that this would be far worse. We supported her living with her boyfriend and then on her own for several years. She never figured out what to do with herself and now we're broke. She is back at home and planning to go to the local community college. She is very bright but stresses out about school stuff unless I am around to calm her down and get her focused. We sent her to Arizona to school and she managed to complete 6 credits. She'd finished all of the work for the rest of her 1st semester courses but had an anxiety attack at the very end. She just didn't bother to go to class during the 2nd semester. She now has the debt to deal with. She left Arizona and didn't bother to turn in the cable box, which ended up costing us $600 bucks. We just coughed up $500 to California to get her driver's licensed released! Are these typical things that happen to folks with bipolar disorder. Am I unrealistic expecting her to get better at dealing with this stuff?
