One day your daughter will realise how badly she is behaving, but that may take years. She needs to grow up, and realise how tough it has been for you.
Take care Woofwoof

Thank you for the kind words. My daughter does need to grow up, I have been told this many times. I am beginning to despair that she ever will. She has already done irrepairable damage to our family by losing custody of my grandbaby to the state several years ago, and at the time I was ill and unable to take the baby. Now this. I don't understand how I raised a child that hates me so much. My father is a good man, but he doesn't understand my mental state at all, nor does my stepmother. They both seem to have an attitude of, if I just take enough medicine, or think a different way, or something, I don't know, the bipolar will simply go away. I'm not sure why they think this-it hasn't gone away after all these years. In fact, it only seems to get worse with time. I just learn to deal with it more with time. I just wish I could go now and get it over with, before my house of cards collapses completely.
