Hi, posting again in this forum first time since 2012. 🙄. I’ll try and distract you with my own problems. Please feel free to discuss, comment, whatever.

My teen daughter is bipolar and anorexic, and I’m so drained emotionally and physically from having to manage her (there have been 2 suicide attempts and one serious threat of.) She’s in an inpatient center now and we just had our first “family session” over Zoom. It was ok until she told me I’m not allowed to talk to anyone about her issues. I tell only my sister. I have no other fiends that I hang out with, besides my husband. I need to talk about this crap to SOMEONE. I just shut down. There’s no way I’m complying, should I consider this request? I need to talk to someone and it’s not like I’m gossiping over a fence. My conclusion at the moment is that she’s a child, I’m an adult, and she does not dictate to me who I talk to or what I talk about. I just won’t tell her that I talk to my sister anymore.
Am I wrong here?
