[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 735449, member: 21499"] I have a 35 year old son with bipolar and he drinks and expiraments with drugs. Lying seems to be part of the disease be it drugs or bipolar. I have not let my son live with me for quite awhile but until recently i kept helping him financially . what that got me was deep in debt and what it got him was nothing but being able to buy what he shouldn't. I was stressed all the time and damaged my relationship with his two younger brothers. Everyone including my councelor and my brother who is a ex addict told me to detach from him. You will find an article about this under parent emitrius. I finally made that decision. I was not helping he needs to make it on his own to be able to feel good about himself. He is a hard worker like your daughter. I know he is working but not much else. I don't want to know the details right now. I deserve some peace and so do you. Seek some help with a councelor for you. If she is stealing no matter the reason it is not her right to help somebody with your money. If you think she cant survive call nami or social services or narcotics anonymous for suggestions on organizations that may be able to help. If she chooses not to get help like my son then we are incapable of helping. They have to want it. If we are giving them what they want they will not recognize that they need help. Each of us has to do this at our own pace and in our own way but we will not be here forever so it is better for them and us to do it now . we deserve to enjoy our lives. [/QUOTE]
