What have I done wrong? What am I doing to myself?

My daughter has let me down again when I needed her. She almost has a perfect record of being this way going way back in time. She does not show up, or she ignores my requests for help, which can be over something real important. No apology. Between this and lying to me allot, I feel so sad. Worse yet, I torment myself allot about it, thinking of the worst case future scenario, which is painful for me. I am having trouble stopping this torment.

What have I done wrong in my raising of my daughter? She appears to be getting worse. Is this a plea for help? Her boyfriend is the same way, so they must feed off of each other.

I had almost no help raising her. When she was with me, I tried to raise her, When she was with her mother, she would do the same. We never worked together. Her mother would not talk to me about it. I needed her help raising my daughter. I have made many mistakes, some really big ones. One time she told me that she no longer wanted to see me. This was when she was younger. So I really screwed up here. I am responsible for what has gone wrong.

What can I do about this? Have any of you had this problem?. I need to put this in perspective.

I see this is in bipolar section. Do either of you have this and are you taking medicine?

I'm so sorry, Tucson. Sometimes we can pour all the love we have into our children and they just don't "get it." But your daughter is quite young, isn't she? Early 20's or so? She may just be immature. And surely the boyfriend is a big influence.

She may have some mood or impulsive issues. Unfortunately you can't make her get help. Just try to be there but not to bail her out. I'm sorry your going through this.
