I'm going to take a bit of a different approach than everyone else. The OP said this is her adult daughter. I have no idea if the OP was abusive or not. She says the daughter lied about abuse at one point. Maybe she's lying now, maybe she's not. For me the bottom line is that the daughter is now an adult. Time to take responsibility for herself. The OP says she has paid for treatment for the daughter. Is she expected to continue to pay for treatment for the rest of the daughter's life?

My father was abusive. My mother did not protect me. I was left with a major mess to clean up as an adult. I was one screwed up mess. But I didn't expect them to fund my treatment. Was I mad about the mess I was left to clean up? Heck yes! I was PO'd beyond words. There are still times I get angry about it. BUT it's my responsibility to take care of myself.
