[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 722290, member: 4152"] I'm so sorry. Our adopted daughter has the same illness, although she is a little younger and on disability. If down the road your daughter proves too unstable to work , this might be an option for her. My guess is that her career is bogus...you are , against your will, supporting her with that and other things financially. She is way too old for her not to know better and for you to continue enabling. I know all too well how this stress can hurt one's health. The others have given you top notch advice. And that's great that you looked into support from NAMI and are pulling back. Read whatever you can on "detachment," as it will likely be helpful. If you aren't doing so already, i would consider at least short term therapy for yourself as this type of stress is very taxing. You can learn to support her much more minimally and much more limited and totally on your terms. Please take extra good care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
