[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 758773, member: 23706"] Hi. I feel so badly for you. I thought Kay would be my princess and BFF. I didn't even care if I never had any other child after bringing her home to my family. Now, of course, I'm grateful. However, I never have lunches and shopping dates with Kay. I never did unless I was buying her something that she wanted. And I don't even get to see Amy all the time now that she has a boyfriend. I think maybe I expected too much from my kids in the way of company. I think adult kids have their own lives these days. Most work and have kids....mom is not the priority. Times are busy now. Hon, I know I have said this before and mean it gently but I think your daughter, like mine, sounds more borderline than bipolar. They are very difficult and moody and can be very cruel. They are not safe for us. The disorder is often misdiagnosed as bipolar. I think both of our daughters know exactly what they say and do. I think we must protect our mom hearts. We can lose everything to them. They will take it all. They don't wish us well....I hope I am proven wrong. But this is my perspective right now. We do wish for nice boyfriends for our girls, but I think they find who they find because of who they are. They are drawn to drama and contention. So they pick men that create that dynamic. It's very hard. But it is what it is. I am so sorry about those nightmares. Have you ever received therapy? I send you prayers and love. This will level off. [/QUOTE]
