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.

Ahh but the point came in my life to where I am pretty stable right now and I cant have her in my life cause I feed off of her negative vibes and I cycle when she does. She moved out two months ago and things in our house have been pretty nice but she thrives off of drama. If she wants to go and post on a forum telling people that I abandoned her that is her story to tell and not mine
I am not hiding anything and through my wife she knows we will pay for her medications and therapy. She just has to be willing to comply. I mean you would think she knows better that it takes more then a week for the medications to take effect on her. I honestly would hope that she would go online and post about this stuff so maybe it would be therapeutic to her and she could read up on others that have the same conditions and maybe try out some of the stuff that has worked for others.
I mean I was not the best father and was gone half her life working as a truck driver I was gone a lot. Things were fine until I quit driving cause I was cycling to much towards the end being unmedicated and all that jazz. She is jealous of the relationship I have with my wife cause she was used to having mom all to herself.
This honestly escalated last week cause my wife did not respond to a text our daughter sent her right away. She also know not to text or call my wife between 5 and 6 cause she is driving home from work. I am done with her game I am tired at her swearing and calling her mother and I names I am tired of her threatening to kill us or herself I am just f@@@ing tired of it all and if this next part sound selfish so be it but I am done and I am looking out for my wife and mines own well being and I dont care if I have to cut people out of my life or not weather it be temporary or permanent. I have come to far to start all over again. It took long enough to find a medication that actually works for me pretty good and to have taken all these classes to throw it all away to have my daughter in my life.
