[QUOTE="newstart, post: 722301, member: 22416"] [I]Hi Nomad, I have spent so much time and energy trying to help, fix, lead, etc my daughter that I have come to the conclusion that not talking to her works the best. No matter what I say she has a belligerent answer. I am wore out to the bone. I have spent many hours in therpy and unless that therapist has actually lived in the same house with an out of control bipolar adult child, they really have no idea what they are talking about. Today I need to count my blessings. 1.She lives in her own home. It would be horrible to have a manic belligerent person living here. 2. Drinking makes her sick. 3.I can still text and phone talk but I do not want her in my home and today I do not feel bad about telling her I need to be alone. 4. Everyday I realize over and over again she is an adult. At her age I was sending my parents money and trying to take care of them, she just uses us. 5. I feel crushed and used but not as bad as years before when her abuse knocked me to the ground. 6. I love her deeply, she is disgusting to me. 7. I have the strength to stop her from coming over. In the past I just wanted peace with her so put up with her BS, not anymore. 8. This last awful mania and stealing from me has hit me deeper than ever before and I have the strength to not let it break me into a million pieces but to gain strength and knowledge that I do not have to put up with her non stop nonsense and I have the strength to distance myself from it ( still working on it). 9. How can someone be so intelligent (gifted classes) and so dumb at the same time. 10. I know just typing this out and having others that know exactly how hard this journey is makes it a bit easier. I can reach out and it does help my horribly broken heart. My daughter's life journey is hers and hers alone and my journey is mine. If you throw rocks at me I will not walk this journey with you.[/I] [/QUOTE]
