family relationships can be most challenging. i feel a note of sadness in your post.  i have a cousin who has broken off all ties with the family due to paranoia. (over 10 years) we sadly miss her and wish she would get help but know we are powerless to change her or the situation. hopefully your daughter may have a change of heart and if so you can be there for her then.
