I am sorry to hear that you feel you have been put in a horrible position. I understand that you felt like you had to do what you did.
Often I read here sympathy for the bipolar person who has been alienated by their family. We support them and tell them it's the family member's fault that they are rejecting them. Interesting that this is somehow different. Do you think your daughter will go on a forum and complain that her parents have rejected her because of her mental illness. Don't you think that forum will take her side and tell her that her parents were uncaring and unsympathetic?
This example makes me think that there are always complicating factors in supporting those with mental illness. Sounds like your daughter needs help and support. Everybody has a story and nobody's story is more valid than the others. I wonder what her story is.
